AUNT DOROTHY'S MARINATED CARROT SALAD
This has been a family favorite for years. The key to this recipe is not overcooking the carrots and allowing the entire salad to marinate for at least 12 hours. For a spectacular presentation when serving, garnish the top with rings of each color of bell pepper and rings of onion. Serve alone or over a bed of lettuce.

Steps:
- Combine carrots, onions, and parsley in a large bowl; toss well.
- Whisk together oil and vinegar, and season with salt and pepper. Let sit 1 hour.
- Before serving, squeeze lemon over the top.
Tips:
- Choose the right carrots and onions: For the best flavor and texture, select carrots that are firm and crisp, with bright orange color. Choose yellow or white onions, as they have a milder flavor than red onions.
- Slice the carrots and onions thinly: This will help them absorb the dressing better and make them easier to eat.
- Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife will make it easier to slice the carrots and onions thinly and evenly.
- Don't overdress the salad: A little bit of dressing goes a long way. Too much dressing will overwhelm the flavor of the carrots and onions.
- Serve the salad immediately: Carrot and onion salad is best served fresh. The longer it sits, the more the flavors will meld together and the salad will become less crisp.
