What are the benefits of vinaigrette salad?

Although vinaigrette is an economical snack available to everyone, it contains many useful substances, thanks to its constituent vegetables and dressings.

Potatoes contain vitamin C and boost the body's immune system as a whole.

Beets, with the minerals they contain, ensure weight loss and regulate metabolism.

Carrots contain iodine, keratin, and calcium.

Sauerkraut has strengthening and bactericidal effects.

Use of oil in salad makes it easier and improves bowel movements.

Be that as it may, vinaigrette has become a Russian national dish, which is ready to delight, give energy and strength at any time of the year.

Vinaigrette is a simple, tasty and healthy vegetable dish that can be easily prepared at home. Today there are a huge number of options for preparing vinaigrette.

Vinaigrette is very popular not only in the CIS countries, but also in Europe. Although the dish is considered Russian, similar salads are present in the cuisines of Scandinavia, France, and Germany. Vinaigrette can be consumed by people on a diet. Thanks to the presence of vegetables in the recipe, the salad helps normalize metabolism and has a beneficial effect on the gastrointestinal tract.

There is an opinion that the vinaigrette was created at the court of Tsar Alexander the First. A cook from France (Antoine Careme), who worked in the royal kitchen, saw his Russian colleagues pouring vinegar over chopped vegetables and asked: “vinaigre?”, which translated meant vinegar. Since Russian chefs did not understand French well, they decided that this was the name of the dish, but Antoine only wanted to make sure that vinegar was used as a dressing for preparing the dish. Since then, vegetable salad has been called vinaigrette.

This is probably the most popular version of vinaigrette, which is most often prepared by housewives in many homes. Vinaigrette is largely associated not only with beets, but also with the addition of, in addition to potatoes and carrots, green peas and pickled or pickled cucumbers. It is the last ingredients that give this salad that very recognizable taste.

How to beautifully prepare a vinaigrette for the holiday - video recipe

For a holiday, I really want to serve even such a simple dish as vinaigrette, elegantly and beautifully enough so that it decorates the table and attracts the attention of guests. I invite you to watch how a delicious classic vinaigrette is prepared, and then based on it, an amazing festive composition is created that will decorate any feast, including the New Year.

There are so many variations of this favorite snack that choosing the best of the best is quite a difficult task. To solve the problem, there is a classic vinaigrette recipe, which not only reveals the culinary subtleties of creating the dish, but also immerses us in the traditions of “deep antiquity.”

The well-known method of obtaining a dish familiar from childhood rarely remains unchanged. Any housewife tries to contribute her element to the creation of a delicious dish. However, every craftswoman began mastering the preparation of snacks with the classic vinaigrette recipe.

Ingredients:

  • oil (olive or any lean);
  • beets - 4 pcs.;
  • potatoes - 4 pcs.;
  • canned peas - a small jar;
  • pickled cucumbers - 5 pcs. medium size;
  • greens, laurel leaf.

Whatever products make up the classic vinaigrette recipe, its main component, which shapes the taste of the dish, is beets. We use exclusively sweet table (not fodder) root vegetables.

Cooking method:

  1. Place the potatoes and carrots in one pan, fill with water, and boil in their jackets until soft, which will take about 40 minutes.
  2. Place the beets in another container so that the vegetable does not color the remaining components of the dish. Cook for approximately 1.5 hours in a large amount of liquid, some of which will certainly boil away during the heat treatment of the product.
  3. Cool the prepared vegetables, then peel and chop. Chop the potatoes into small cubes, and arrange the carrots, pickles and beets in the same form.
  4. Treat the last component with aromatic oil and leave it in a separate bowl. We add parts of the vegetable to the assembled appetizer immediately before serving, so that the root vegetable does not color the entire composition of the dish and retains the bright shades of each ingredient.
  5. Mix the prepared products in a spacious bowl. Add canned peas, chopped dill, bay leaf. If desired, add a little salt and pepper, pour olive oil or fragrant sunflower fat.

The composition and quantity of ingredients in a classic vinaigrette recipe is approximate. The good thing about this appetizer is that you can improvise with it according to your personal tastes and preferences.

Cooking with sauerkraut

This ancient dish has long been prepared using homemade pickles. It is not surprising that vinaigrette with cabbage was the pride of every housewife.

Grocery list:

  • vegetable oil;
  • pickled peas - ½ jar;
  • beets and carrots - 2 pcs.;
  • potatoes - 3 pcs.;
  • sauerkraut - 300 g;
  • greens, onion.

Preparation procedure:

  1. Wash the vegetables thoroughly, dry them with paper towels, and wrap them individually in foil. Place the pieces on a baking sheet and place them in an oven heated to 180 ℃ for an hour.
  2. Products prepared in this way best retain vitamins and other beneficial substances. Not everyone knows that when eating boiled potatoes, we absorb only starch, since most of the beneficial components are contained in the baked peel!
  3. Peel the cooled vegetables, cut them into cubes, and place in a spacious bowl.
  4. Squeeze the juice from the sauerkraut. If it was chopped into too long strips, divide them into small pieces. Otherwise, parts of your favorite pickle will not hang very attractively from the fork, which will make the eating process less aesthetically pleasing.
  5. Add peas from a jar, finely chopped pickles, and chopped herbs to the assembled ingredients of the dish.

Season the food with aromatic oil, mix everything carefully, and serve.

With green peas

This canned product is present in almost any vinaigrette, regardless of its composition. That's why the pea recipe is of particular interest to us.

Required Products:

  • lean oil (sunflower or olive);
  • canned peas - 200 g;
  • pickled cucumbers - 5 pcs.;
  • onion - small head;
  • beets and carrots - 1 pc.;
  • potatoes - 3 pcs.;
  • greens - according to preference.

For the best vinaigrette (any salad), you should use only brain peas!

This product has a soft, very delicate, slightly sweet and salty taste. Freeze-dried (reconstituted) peas are absolutely not suitable. It can be used for other dishes - soups, side dishes, etc.

Step-by-step preparation:

  1. As always, we begin the action by boiling potatoes and root vegetables in their “uniforms”. We prepare the beets separately.
  2. Cut the food into cubes. Why do we do it in this particular form? The answer is simple - any salad dressing penetrates better into vegetables chopped in a similar way.
  3. Mix the ingredients, add finely chopped onions, quality peas, chopped herbs. Season the products with aromatic oil, mayonnaise or other chosen filling.

Mix the resulting mixture and serve immediately. It is not advisable to store cooked food for a long time. If there is any surplus left, put it in the refrigerator for no more than a day.

Vinaigrette with herring, seasoned with special sauce

Now let's talk about what kind of vinaigrette dressing will make its taste especially bright, pleasant and interesting.

Components used:

  • chicken yolks (raw) - 2 pcs.;
  • potatoes - 3 pcs.;
  • mustard (including cardamom) - 3 tbsp. l.;
  • beets, carrots - 2 pcs.;
  • broth (vegetable or fish) - 50 ml;
  • herring (preferably lightly salted) - 250 g;
  • pickled cucumbers - 3 pcs.;
  • vinegar (balsamic or wine) - 27 ml;
  • regular sugar - 25 g;
  • salt, pepper, herbs.

According to our ancient traditions, a truly “Russian” vinaigrette, like other salads, was usually seasoned with mayonnaise or fresh sunflower oil. However, such options are somewhat boring today. For variety, we will create a special spicy sauce - lemon fresh, which means “fresh”.

Cooking order:

  1. Wrap raw vegetables in foil and bake for half an hour using the already known method. Cut the cooled products into small cubes and leave in a spacious bowl.
  2. Add peeled herring (select all the seeds!), divide into small pieces, add to the vegetable mass. We also place finely chopped cucumbers (salted or pickled) here. If desired, use green peas and chopped herbs.
  3. We are preparing the dressing. To do this, combine the broth, granulated sugar, yolks, mustard, and selected vinegar in a saucepan. Season the mixture with pepper and salt, heat it by simmering (do not boil!) until the composition thickens.
  4. Pour mustard sauce over the food ingredients and mix everything carefully.

The salad dressing gave the dish a unique taste and transformed a familiar dish into an exquisite and very unusual dish.

Hearty snack with beans

When choosing a vinaigrette with beans for a festive feast, we not only strive to decorate the celebration with bright appetizers, but also to make them the most nutritious and satisfying.

List of products:

  • olive oil (sunflower oil is also possible) - 80 ml;
  • beets - 3 pcs.;
  • beans (preferably red) - 350 g;
  • Crimean onion - 2 pcs.;
  • carrots - 2 pcs.;
  • pickled cucumbers - up to 6 pcs.;
  • dill, salt, pepper.

Preparation procedure:

  1. Soak the sorted and washed beans for 5-8 hours, cook in two liters of drinking water until soft (about 2 hours).
  2. Next, we prepare (bake or boil) the main “trinity” of the vinaigrette - potatoes, beets and sweet carrots. Cool the vegetables, cut into cubes and place in a bowl.
  3. Add the cooled beans, chopped herbs (onion, dill), season with the desired sauce, salt and pepper. Mix the composition thoroughly.

The prepared vinaigrette seems to be not much different from the usual one, but after the first serving we understand how tasty, satisfying, and incomparably aromatic this dish is.

With pickles

In the presented recipe we reveal all the secrets of the correct use of a salty product - crispy cucumbers.

Ingredients:

  • beets, carrots and potato tubers - 2 pcs.;
  • pickled peas - a small jar;
  • pickled cucumbers - 2 pcs.;
  • onion - head;
  • greens - according to preference.

Step-by-step preparation:

  1. Boil the first three ingredients of the recipe in their skins. Beets - in a separate container, since their heat treatment requires more time. By the way, to prevent the vegetable from staining the pan, wrap it in a plastic bag, tie it tightly, and cook it in the usual way. Simple but effective!
  2. Chop the cooled and peeled products, add chopped cucumbers to them. The main secret of this ingredient is very simple - the pickle must be of high quality, and even better - homemade!
  3. Add peas, chopped onions, chopped herbs, mix everything well.

Season the salad with cucumbers just before serving.

Original version with mushrooms

A vinaigrette with sauerkraut turns out especially tasty if you also include mushrooms in the ingredients of the dish.

Product set:

  • carrots and beets - 2 pcs.;
  • potatoes - 3 pcs.;
  • salted mushrooms (ceps, honey mushrooms, milk mushrooms, boletus or other types of spore organisms);
  • spices, herbs.

Cooking process:

  1. We wash the vegetables, boil/bake using the already known method, cool, chop into cubes, and place in a convenient container.
  2. Mushrooms can also be used fresh, after frying them in oil until golden brown. Cut the salted product into small pieces or add it whole if the mushrooms are not very large.
  3. Add chopped greens to the assembled salad and, if desired, add green peas. Mix the mass.

Season the food with spices and tasty sauce and serve.

How to make squid vinaigrette

This original recipe cannot be called traditionally Russian, but the modern version of the snack will pleasantly surprise even picky gourmets.

Ingredients used:

  • vegetable oil - 60 ml;
  • pickled cucumbers - 3 sh
  • onion and beet - 1 pc.;
  • potato tubers - 2 pcs.;
  • squid fillet - 250 g;

Cooking:

  1. We wash the shellfish meat and dry it with paper napkins. Cut the fillet into small identical pieces, fry in oil for no longer than two minutes, otherwise the soft product will turn into inedible “rubber”!
  2. Then we prepare it in the usual way: boil raw vegetables in their “uniforms”, cut them when cooled. We process the beets in a separate bowl, immediately pour fresh sunflower oil on them, preventing coloring of the remaining salad components.
  3. Place the slices in a spacious bowl, add peas without liquid, cooled pieces of squid, and the desired greens.

Season the food with salt and pepper, season it with your chosen sauce, and enjoy the luxurious salad.

Vinaigrette is probably our most famous salad. It is even more famous than such salads as or. Not a single holiday is complete without a classic vinaigrette with peas, or even herring; we usually call it herring under a fur coat, but there is also a vinaigrette with herring under a fur coat.

We will not give the vinaigrette championship to anyone. This is a purely Russian salad. Vinaigrette is easy to prepare. Using simple products. The calorie content of vinaigrette with vegetable oil is from 70 kcal. per 100 g. Of course, if you pour 5 spoons of mayonnaise in there, it will be much more.

Step-by-step recipes for preparing a classic vinaigrette - recipes with photos

Remember: The vinaigrette is one of the most important points. I think that this is one of the very good dressings: Dijon mustard is best suited because... It is not sweet and moderately spicy. Mix a teaspoon of mustard with three tablespoons of 9% vinegar and 5 tablespoons of oil and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until smooth and add vinaigrette. For a special aroma, you can add mustard or unrefined sunflower oil to the vinaigrette (mix half and half with refined oil).

  • Mustard
  • Vegetable oil
  • Black peppercorns

Preparation:

1. Bake vegetables, beets, potatoes, carrots in the oven, in a bag. 30-35 minutes at 200°. Please note that I always give degrees Celsius. Remove from the oven and check doneness with a toothpick. Cut the package. We take out and peel the vegetables. The amount of beets, carrots and potatoes should be approximately equal.

2. Cut the vegetables into cubes of approximately 0.5 cm on each side. First, chop the beets and add vegetable oil there, mix. Why, we already know, so that beets do not color other vegetables too much.

4. Finely chop the onion and add to the vegetables.

5. Slice the pickles. If you like it saltier, add more. We also add it to the vegetables. Mix everything and add green peas. Also add peas to taste. Our children love it when there are a lot of peas. Don't add pea juice, it will make porridge. Mix everything again.

We are preparing the dressing.

6. First dressing option: Salt, black peppercorns, less than a teaspoon and chop one clove of garlic, I do it in a mortar, or in a mill. Pour into a cup, add half a teaspoon of mustard, a tablespoon of wine vinegar, start with half a spoon, then taste it and you can add more if necessary. Also add a couple of tablespoons of vegetable oil. This is the classic dressing.

7. Divide the vinaigrette into two parts. We will cook with two different dressings. Pour our prepared dressing into the first half.

8. Sprinkle with herbs, we use parsley, and mix. That's it, one view is ready. Let it sit for at least half an hour to soak.

9. Second version of dressing: At first everything is the same, salt, peppercorns, a clove of garlic, chop everything, but then differences appear. Instead of wine vinegar, use the juice of half a lemon, also vegetable oil, about three times more than lemon juice, add herbs, mix everything.

10. Here we have the second option and although they look almost the same, they differ in taste. The first is spicy, sharp, and the second is sour. I like it better with lemon, although it’s good with wine vinegar.

Try it, choose.

    • Instead of pickles we use sauerkraut
    • To prevent beets from coloring other vegetables too much, they must be cut, placed separately, seasoned with vegetable oil and mixed.
    • Add potatoes, onions, carrots, sauerkraut, and green peas to the beets. Mix everything thoroughly.
    • Salt and pepper to taste.
    • Divide the vinaigrette into two parts.

    • Season the first part with mayonnaise.

    • Season the second part with vegetable oil.


    Now guests can order with the dressing they like.

    Well, we got a classic vinaigrette, only one part of it is seasoned with mayonnaise, which doesn’t quite fit the classic.

    Bon appetit!
