Russian Vinaigrette Salad
Description
This traditional Russian salad uses boiled carrots, potatoes, and beets that are peeled and diced once cooled. Additions of chopped pickles and onion bring acidity and bite to the mildly sweet and earthy vegetables. The dressing is straightforward, consisting of sunflower oil and salt, allowing the natural flavors of the ingredients to stand out.
The vegetables are cooked until tender enough to pierce easily but retain their shape when diced. Stirring them together with the seasoning ensures an evenly flavored salad with a balance of textures from the soft beets and potatoes and the crunchier pickles and onion.
Served chilled or at room temperature, this salad makes a refreshing side dish and can be a colorful accompaniment to various meals.
