Russian Venigret Salad Cалат Bинегрет
Venigret - one of the most popular types of salad in Russia. The basis of salad vegetables are boiled or baked, and to give the dish a poignancy and piquancy, it must include acidic ingredient - sauerkraut. Better to cook vegetables in their skins, so they will stay tasty and not lose their useful properties. There are a lot of variations of this salad, with addition of red kidney beans,peas and pickles. My favorite way is this one, that I make for many years:))) Ingredients:4 large beets2 med potatoes (yellow is the best)3 med carrots1 med sweet onionSauerkraut {Квашеная капуста} to your taste Oil ( I like to use grape seed oil and a few tbs of sunflower oil)Salt to taste
Bake potatoes,carrots together covered. Beets bake separately, because it takes longer. Bake until it becomes soft when you stick a knife in it. Cool all vegetables and peel the skins off. Cut all vegetables into small cubes, put in the mixing bowl. Add sauerkraut (I like to use homemade sauerkraut in this salad). Add salt and oil, mix well. Enjoy with croutons or bread. My kids like to mix it with mayo. Its is a very delicious salad:)
