This creamy carrot salad is a classic chilled side dish that tastes like a rich, cold soup. Blended vegetable oil, dry mustard, and vinegar create a thick, emulsified dressing that coats tender boiled carrots perfectly. The flavor is tangy, savory, and slightly sweet, making it an excellent palate cleanser or hearty addition to a picnic spread. It improves as it sits, allowing the carrots to absorb the dressing fully. Perfect for potlucks, summer gatherings, or as a unique vegan side dish that requires no oven time, just a little patience in the fridge.

Directions
-
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the sliced carrots and boil for 5 minutes until tender-crisp.
-
Drain the carrots and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. Let them cool completely.
-
In a large serving bowl, combine the cooled carrots, chopped onion, and chopped green pepper.
-
In a small jar or bowl, vigorously whisk together the vegetable oil, sugar, vinegar, salt, dry mustard, and ground pepper until the mixture is well-blended and slightly thickened.
-
Pour the dressing evenly over the carrot and vegetable mixture. Toss gently to coat all ingredients thoroughly.
-
Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap or a lid. Refrigerate for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the dressing to set.
