Basic Russian Vinegret

Author Alena's Home Cooking

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked & diced Potatoes
  • 2 cups cooked & diced Carrots
  • 2 cups diced sweet onion
  • 4 cups cooked & diced red beets
  • 4 cups diced dill pickles (or half pickles, half sauerkraut)
  • unrefined Sunflower Oil to taste or any oil
  • vinegar to taste
  • salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Place washed but unpeeled potatoes and carrots into a saucepan and cover with water.

    In a separate pan add beets and cover with water also. Cook until fork soft. ( do not cook these together as the beets cook longer and color the water.

    Cool boiled vegetables and peel them all. (Use a paper towel to peel the beets, the skin just slides right off)

    Finely dice all of the ingredients ( Use a chop wizard) and add into a salad bowl except the pickles.

    Place diced pickles into a fine sieve and press firmly to get rid of excess water. (This will help avoid a watery vinegret)

    Add all of the ingredients together and mix to combine them.

    Season with salt, ground black pepper, oil and vinegar to your taste.
