This meal features a traditional Eastern European dish known as Vinaigrette (вінегрет), a vibrant and hearty vegetable salad. Not to be confused with the French dressing of the same name, this Vinaigrette salad is a colorful mix of pickled white cabbage, boiled potatoes, beans, pickled cucumbers, and onions. Interestingly, a key ingredient commonly found in this salad, beetroot, seems to have been forgotten in the described version.

Prepare the Vegetables

Begin by prepping your vegetables. Boil the potatoes until tender, then cool and dice. Likewise, cook the beans until they are soft. Dice the pickled cucumbers and onions into small pieces. If beetroot was included, it would be boiled, cooled, and then diced as well.

Mix the Salad

In a large bowl, combine the diced potatoes, beans, pickled cucumbers, onions, and optionally diced beetroot. Add pickled white cabbage to the mix. For dressing, a simple combination of vegetable oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper is usually used. Adjust the seasoning to your taste and mix everything thoroughly.

Serve

Allow the salad to marinate for a bit for the flavors to meld together, then serve. This dish can be enjoyed both as a hearty salad on its own or as a vibrant side dish.
