Vinegret
Vinegret (
red beets, potatoes, carrots), chopped onions, as well as sauerkraut and/or brined pickles.[2][3][4][5] Other ingredients, such as green peas or beans, are sometimes also added.[4][5] The naming comes from vinaigrette,[2] which is used as a dressing.[2][4][5] However, in spite of the name, vinegar is often omitted in modern cooking, and sunflower or other vegetable oil is just used.[3] Some cooks add the brine
from the pickled cucumbers or sauerkraut.
Along with Olivier salad and dressed herring, vinegret is served as zakuska on celebration tables in Russophone communities.
Despite the widespread popularity in Russia and Ukraine, the basic mixed salad recipes were adopted from Western European cuisines as late as the 19th century.[6] Originally, the term vinegret denoted any mixture of diced cooked vegetables dressed with vinegar.[2] Later the meaning changed to any mixed salad with beetroots.[3] Modern Russian and Ukrainian cookbooks still mention the possibility of adding mushrooms, meat or fish,[3][4][5] but this is rarely practiced.
Similar beetroot-based salads are prepared throughout Northern Europe. Examples are
brine.[8]
