Jump to Recipe

You will love this heirloom recipe for copper pennies which is a zesty, sweet and sour marinated carrot salad that’s perfect for your next family gathering or party!

Copper Pennies Carrot Salad

Why is this recipe called Copper Pennies?

You might be wondering why in the world this marinated carrot salad would be referred to as “copper pennies”. It’s an old fashioned recipe that we’ve made for generations. Have you had it?

The carrots are sliced thinly and marinated in oil, vinegar, and lots of seasonings which gives them the appearance of burnished pennies. So that’s why this recipe is called Copper Pennies. Whatever you call it, it’s delicious and perfect for SPRING!

Copper Pennies Carrot Salad Recipe

I love serving a variety of salads like this as quick side dishes, especially around the Easter season. The best thing about these copper pennies is that they get better with time so you can make them ahead of time and cross one thing off your Easter brunch list. It’s delicious year-round, but I’m excited about warm weather and Easter around the corner.

This copper penny salad has a zesty “sweet and sour” taste which I love! It’s a colorful dish that’s perfect to take for a potluck, backyard BBQ, or any occasion for a crowd. I love old vintage recipes as well and this one is definitely a favorite of mine, and I hope you love it as well!

Give it your own twist if you like or follow my recipe below. You could also add more peppers or a bit more ground red pepper if you like. Give it even more color by using rainbow carrots if you find them!

      You can leave it out or you could substitute another veggie like broccolini or additional onions.
