Grandmother's Carrot Salad

This is a salad that my Grandmother made often, and ALWAYS for holiday dinners. I have never seen it in any cookbook or on any recipe website. It has an excellent sweet and tangy flavor which gets better with time in the fridge. Prepare this salad a MINIMUM of 24 hrs before you plan to serve it.
