Classic Vinaigrette

The main ingredients in vinaigrette are boiled beets, potatoes and carrots. Beets are dressed with oil separately from other vegetables so that they are not stained by its juice. To muffle the earthy taste of vegetables, a spicy dressing in the form of acetic acid or pickles is added to the vinaigrette. For example, pickles, sauerkraut or capers. Traditionally, sunflower oil or mayonnaise are used for dressing. Olive oil is inappropriate in vinaigrette because of its property to thicken in the refrigerator.

How to cook Classic Vinaigrette

Step 1

Classic Vinaigrette

Prepare the vegetables for the vinaigrette. Cut the prepared beets, potatoes and carrots into cubes.

Step 2

Classic Vinaigrette

Start preparing the salad. Place the beets in a separate bowl and season with vegetable oil. This will prevent them from releasing juice into the salad. Place the chopped potatoes and carrots in a saucepan or deep bowl. Pour in 5-6 tablespoons of green peas, chopped green onions, add a pickled cucumber and salt to taste. Add the beets to the vegetables and mix.

Classic Vinaigrette - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can use canned beets for convenience. Drain and rinse them before cubing to reduce excess liquid. Note that canned beets may be softer and slightly sweeter than fresh.
Store the salad in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Keep it refrigerated to maintain freshness, but note that the vegetables may soften over time.
To make it low-carb, reduce or omit potatoes and limit carrots. Add more high-fiber veggies like zucchini or cauliflower for bulk.
Yes, olive oil works well and adds a richer flavor. Use extra-virgin olive oil for the best taste, though any variety will do.
It’s already vegan as written—just ensure the pickled cucumber and other ingredients don’t contain animal-derived additives (e.g., some pickles use sugar processed with bone char).
Freezing isn’t recommended, as the vegetables will become mushy when thawed. Enjoy it fresh or store it in the fridge for a few days.
Serve chilled as a side dish with grilled meats, as a topping for greens, or with crusty bread. Garnish with fresh herbs like dill for added flavor.
Double or triple the ingredients proportionally. Mix in a large bowl to ensure even distribution of flavors and dressing.
Absolutely! Add chickpeas, boiled eggs, or diced tofu for a protein boost. Adjust seasoning as needed to balance flavors.
