Vinaigrette salad

Cookinero 12 Mar 2025

The secret of the origin of the vinaigrette salad has not yet been revealed: some say that it appeared in Germany, others believe that the recipe for vinaigrette with beets appeared in the Scandinavian countries. The third version of the origin is that one of the French cooks in the kitchen at the court of Alexander I, seeing how vegetables were poured with vinegar, exclaimed: "Vinaigre?!", which is translated from French as vinegar. Each of these countries will have its own opinion on how to prepare vinaigrette. We offer a recipe widely known in Russia.
