Recipe for a classic vinaigrette with cabbage
Housewives usually prepare vinaigrette in three versions: with pickled cucumber, with sauerkraut, combining both ingredients. By the way, at home we use the third cooking option.
But there are a lot of recipes, so I’ll tell you how not to use pickled cucumber and get a tasty dish.
Ingredients:
- 2 beets
- 1 carrot
- 3 potato tubers
- Sauerkraut
- 1 pickled cucumber
- 0.5 cans of green peas
- Green onion feathers
- Salt, vegetable oil
Boil the vegetables. But make sure they are not overcooked.
It happens that the potato variety is very starchy, then make an aqueous solution with an acid, for example, acetic acid, and boil the tubers in it.
The cabbage needs to be squeezed out and washed a little. But, if you like juice in salads, then you don’t have to rid it of excess brine, but put it straight from the jar into a salad bowl.
Chop the vegetables and combine them with peas, spices and vegetable oil.
Oil should be in moderation. If you don't top it up, it will turn out a little dry.
If you are interested in new flavor combinations, combine olive oil with soy sauce and a mixture of peppers. The taste will be completely different.

Classic vinaigrette: step-by-step recipe with pickles
A step-by-step recipe for a classic vinaigrette without cabbage, no matter how strange it may sound. It is precisely this that is missing from the technological maps. Salted (not pickled) cucumbers give the salad a special taste. This is a real version with boiled beans, but if desired, we can replace it with canned legumes in our own juice or in a light marinade.
• 80 g beans (dry);
• four cucumbers (salted);
• 1 tsp. mustard (optional);
• greens as desired.
1. Add cold water to the beans and let sit for at least five hours. Then change the water, put it on the stove and boil until tender. If you don’t have the desire or time to do this, then you can simply use canned beans; you need about a glass of beans without marinade.
2. Wash the potatoes, no need to peel them, place them in a saucepan. Also wash the carrots, add to the potatoes, add water and boil until tender, but do not overcook. As soon as the vegetables begin to pierce normally, turn it off. Drain the boiling water, add cold water, hold for five minutes and drain too. Cleaning it up.
3. Beets are always boiled separately from other vegetables, otherwise it will spoil their taste. Rinse medium-sized root vegetables, place in a saucepan, add water and boil until soft. Then add cold water and leave to cool. Clear.

To ensure that the potatoes do not fall apart and the cubes turn out neat, it is important not to overcook them. You can additionally keep the cooled tubers in the freezer for a little while, half an hour is enough for them to get stronger.
5. Peel the onion, cut it smaller than the other ingredients, and pour it into a bowl.
6. We also cut the pickled cucumbers finely, like onions, so that they are evenly distributed in the vinaigrette. If the cucumbers are small or not too vigorous, then you can add a couple more things.
7. Add cooked or simply canned beans. You can use red beans, white beans, or any other beans you like.
8. Taste for salt. If the taste of cucumbers is not enough, then add it. It is important to add salt before adding the oil. Otherwise, the grains simply will not have time to dissolve.
9. Dress the salad. Combine vegetable oil with mustard, grind and add to vegetables. Or just pour in only the oil.
10. Carefully stir the vinaigrette. You can use two spoons for this so as not to mash the boiled vegetables and spoil the appearance.

Classic vinaigrette - useful tips and tricks
• If the onions are too hot, the vinaigrette will taste bitter and the unpleasant taste will transfer to other vegetables. To prevent this from happening, the vegetable can be cut, placed in a sieve or colander, and scalded with boiling water from a kettle. But add it to the salad only after it has cooled completely.
• Beets boil for a long time, but still don’t want to become soft? If more than minutes of cooking have already passed, you can drain the boiling water and place the beet under running cold water; after half an hour the vegetable will be fully cooked.
• Unleavened vinaigrette is not very tasty. That is why pickles and pickled vegetables are always added to the salad. But it happens that they do not provide the necessary acid or are quite bland on their own. In this case, pickling the onions will help improve the taste. The vegetable needs to be cut, poured with an acetic acid solution, let it brew, then squeeze and add to the vinaigrette.
