Today, I’m excited to share a salad recipe often associated with Russian cuisine. However, contrary to popular belief, the vinaigrette isn’t uniquely Russian; it emerged in the Russian Empire in the 19th century. The dish’s roots lie in French cuisine, and you can also discover similar recipes in Finnish cuisine, such as Roselli salad, along with variations in German and Scandinavian cuisines.
The recipe starts with three key ingredients: boiled potatoes, carrots, and beets. Next, introduce a sour flavor with either pickles, sauerkraut, or a combination of both. Instead of canned peas, feel free to substitute in beans. Traditionally, the Russian vinegret salad is dressed with sunflower oil, but you can also opt for olive oil or Greek yogurt, depending on your preference. Can you see how adaptable this recipe is?
In this gastronomic exploration, we invite you to discover the art of crafting a salad that transcends the ordinary, where the natural sweetness of beets meets the tangy crunch of pickles and the burst of freshness from green peas. This Beet Salad promises to be a refreshing ode to seasonal produce, inviting you to savor the joys of simplicity and wholesome goodness.

How to make potato salad with beets and green peas:
- 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, carrots, 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 cucumbers 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.
