   Wash the carrots, peel and cut into strips. Place the chopped carrots and onions in a saucepan.

4. STEP 4

   

   Pour water and vegetable oil into the vegetables.

   Wash the tomatoes and remove the skins from them. To do this, make a cross-shaped cut on them and pour boiling water over them for 1-2 minutes. After this, the skin can be easily removed.

   Grind the tomato pulp in a blender. You can pass the tomatoes through a meat grinder; in this case, there is no need to peel them.

12. STEP 12

    

    10 minutes before the end of cooking, add ground black pepper, dill, vinegar and bay leaf. Prepare salad jars (I used liter jars). To do this, wash them with soda and sterilize them in any way convenient for you. Boil the jar lids for 3-5 minutes. How to calculate the required number of cans, as well as other interesting information about preservation, read the article about blanks, the link is at the end of the recipe.

    Place the prepared salad in sterilized jars and close the lids. Turn the jars upside down and leave them like that under a warm blanket or rug until they cool completely. Store the salad in a cool place. Happy cooking and bon appetit!

Good day! The salad turned out very tasty, thanks for the recipe. We love pearl barley soup, which has the same ingredients, but instead of pepper there are potatoes and broth, of course. For the winter, this salad is like a hearty cold appetizer.
