This is my favorite veggie recipe for a picnic or BBQ. It is simple, easy and very tasty. I hope you will give this a try and enjoy. I like the carrots with the tops instead of the baby bagged carrots...looks prettier.

This looks lovely, and interesting too - I love the flavour of caraway but I never thought of using it in a dressing. I'm going to try this sometime. Thanks for the recipe,
Susan (aka nellie)
