Vinegret
Vinegret is a very popular salad in Russia and former USSR countries. In some families it is a popular dish on a celebration tables, but it can brighten up your weekly diet too. The main ingredients are boiled beetroots, carrots and potatoes, with pickled cucumbers and sauerkraut adding to the zingy flavour. To save time, you may boil the veggies in advance, say the evening before.
Variations include adding peas and fresh herbs and substituting onion with green onions. A tip for all the vegetables to preserve their original colours is to first mix beetroot with oil and then add other diced vegetables.
