Simple and Light Russian Vinaigrette

There are a few different ways a Russian Vinaigrette is made. So, here is one of them! Personally, I like this salad among other Russian traditional salads. Why? Because, it doesn’t have the heavy amount of mayonnaise. In fact, it actually has no mayonnaise. It’s made of a combination of boiled vegetables that you could actually enjoy all year long.

In this salad, the first ingredient already tells you this salad is packed with vitamin A and C. Of course, this is through the beets! Naturally, it cleanses the blood and protects against heart disease. Moving on to red kidney beans! Here, it is good to know that they contain a load amount of not only fiber, but also protein. Green onion is anti-viral and lowers the blood pressure.

Beets may be available year round, but they’re seasonal in the winter months, where they’re more tender and sweeter, too. Potatoes are a regular ingredient on hand since they are so versatile, as well as pickles. I hope you enjoy this delicious and simple salad!
