When we talk about Russian cuisine, the same dishes keep coming up\u2014Olivier salad<\/a>, borsch{t}<\/a> (arguably of Ukrainian provenance), pelmeni<\/em><\/a>, etc. This time, let’s make a lesser-known\u2014but delicious!\u2014dish popular in Russia: a beet salad.<\/p>\n

You may remember that beets (\u0441\u0432\u0451\u043a\u043b\u0430<\/strong>) feature in some other Russian dishes, such as the already mentioned borsch, vinegret<\/em><\/a>, and “herring under a coat.”<\/a> To make this post more hands-on, I will actually make the beet salad! As you will see from my directions, I don’t tend to measure things out very precisely or time them. If you are a more accomplished chef, please share your tips on how you make this salad!<\/p>\n
