Today, I am going to share another salad recipe that is from Russian cuisine. Well, questionably Russian, as you can find similar recipes in Finnish cuisine (rosolli salad) and some variations in German and Scandinavian. The base for the recipe is the combination of three main ingredients: boiled potato, carrot and beets. Then, you add sour taste: pickles or sauerkraut, or both these ingredients together. Plus, instead of canned peas, you can use beans. In a classic version of Russian vinegret salad, you use sunflower oil to dress it but you can also use olive oil or Greek yogurt if you fancy one or the other. You see how versatile is this recipe?
Ingredients for Russian Vinaigrette Salad:
- 200 g canned green peas;
- 2 beetroots, boiled;
- 2 potatoes, boiled;
- 1 carrot, boiled;
- 2 full-sour pickles;
- 5 onion;
- 2 tbsps. sunflower/olive oil;
- salt and black pepper to your taste.
How to make Russian potato salad with beets:
- First, boil all the vegetables that should be used cooked in the recipe and let them cool down before cutting. On FreeFoodTips you can find detailed guidelines on how you can boil potatoes and how to cook beets the easiest way possible.
- Cut boiled potatoes, carrot and beets into desired shape or form. The classic way will be cubes in medium size.
- Chop peeled onion into small pieces (if you do not like the taste of fresh onion in your salad, you can omit it). Have pickles cubed, too. If the skin of fully sour cucmbers is too thick, peel it away.
- Combine all the cut ingredients in the mixing bowl. Drain canned green peas from the liquid and add them to your bowl with veggies. Combine all the ingredients.
- Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, add oil and mix until all the ingredients are evenly covered.
- Better served cold from the fridge. Enjoy!
