Ukrainian Salat Vinaigrette (Beet Salad)
Share recipe
Description
A delicious Ukrainian beet salad! Great with meat and poultry dishes (especially Chicken Kyiv) with a side of mashed potatoes! The preparation takes some time, but I really like the salad! It is one of the few salads popular in Ukraine that doesn't contain mayonnaise! Enjoy!
Ingredients
- 1 pound beets
- 1 pound carrots
- 1 pound potatoes
- 2 large dill pickles, diced

- 1 (8 ounce) can peas, drained
