Classic vinaigrette with sauerkraut

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make a classic vinaigrette with sauerkraut? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. Take medium-sized dark burgundy beets, one large or two smaller carrots. Pickled cucumbers can be replaced with pickled ones. It is better to use unrefined oil. With it, the taste and aroma of the dish will be brighter and richer. Thoroughly wash the vegetables with a brush to remove any dirt. Boil potatoes, carrots and beets. When the vegetables have cooled, peel them.

2. STEP 2

   

   Cut the carrots into small cubes.

3. STEP 3

   

   Cut the peeled potatoes in the same way.

4. STEP 4

   

   Cut the beets into cubes too.

5. STEP 5

   

   In the same way, cut salted or pickled cucumbers into equal cubes. Try to cut the ingredients so that the cubes are the same size. This way the dish will look neater and more beautiful. It is convenient to use a vegetable cutter for this.

6. STEP 6

   

   First place the beets in the salad bowl. Pour in refined vegetable oil (1 tbsp) and stir. This is to ensure that the oil covers the surface of each piece of beets, and it will not stain the rest of the ingredients as much.

7. STEP 7

   

   Add all other chopped vegetables. Drizzle with remaining oil. Season with salt and pepper to your taste. Stir.

8. STEP 8

   

   Lightly squeeze the sauerkraut from the brine and add to the salad. Add onion, cut into thin strips or small cubes. Mix everything again. Taste it. If necessary, add salt, pepper and oil.

9. STEP 9

   

   Place the salad in the refrigerator for 30 minutes until it is well established. If desired, add chopped dill or parsley just before serving. Also, you should not prepare the vinaigrette for future use. It is not stored for a long time, as vegetables quickly lose their taste. Bon appetit!

One of our favorite seasonal salads: Classic vinaigrette with sauerkraut. Simple, tasty, healthy, nutritious. Moreover, at this time of year we almost always have sauerkraut and homemade pickled cucumbers on the table. I try to keep pre-boiled beets in the refrigerator, and potatoes and carrots do not take so long to cook. I was surprised by the absence of onion in the recipe; I added it and first soaked it in hot water with a small amount of vinegar and sugar. Dressed with olive oil infused with aromatic herbs. It turned out very tasty! I recommend preparing a delicate, piquant vinaigrette according to this recipe, treat yourself and your loved ones.
