Place the carrot and bell pepper on a baking pan in an oven set on 250 degrees for 45 to 60 minutes, or until all of the small pieces are completely dry, but not browned. Combine the dried carrot and bell pepper with the other ingredients in a small bowl. The mix can be stored in a sealed container indefinitely until needed. When ready to use, pour 1/4 cup of vinegar into a jar. Add 3 tablespoons of water, then add the dressing mix. Seal and shake vigorously.
