The earthy taste of the beets combines beautifully with the acidity of white vinegar and pickles. It is all balanced out by potatoes and carrots, while the beans or peas (your preference) make the salad more filling.
Although the ingredients are so basic, the magenta hue of the salad make it look rather festive. You’ll normally have a chance to taste vinehret on special occasions as it marries well with meat and fish dishes.
Vinehret (Vegetable Salad)
Ukrainian vinehret may be defined as a village salad – it is made almost exclusively of anything you grow in your garden. It is easy to make, affordable, and rich in vitamins. Since you boil all the vegetables with the peel on, they preserve most of their nutritious value.
