What makes this Russian Vinaigrette so nutritious?

Beets are high in fiber, potassium, vitamin C, and magnesium, all which are a big benefit to your bones, liver, and kidneys. Another ingredient in this version of vinegret is the sauerkraut. Sauerkraut gives a tangy taste to the salad, and a huge benefit to your body. It is great for your digestive health, strength to your bones, reduces cholesterol levels, eliminates inflammation and can even protect against certain cancer.

This Russian Vinaigrette Recipe comes way back from my grandma’s grandmother. Depending what part you live in Russia, or lived back in the Soviet Union, this salad is made a tad differently. The root ingredients however, always stay the same, such as beets, potato, and mixed with oil and salt to taste. Otherwise, it’s just not a vinegret salad.
