Vinaigrette salad is a traditional Eastern European, especially Russian, beet salad. A classic version combines cooked potatoes, beets, carrots and peas with pickles and an oil-and-vinegar dressing. It is usually served cold as a side dish.
Boil the beets, potatoes and carrots until tender, then cool and dice them. Mix with peas and chopped pickles, and dress with oil and vinegar. For less color transfer, toss the diced beets with a little oil before adding them last.
Vinaigrette salad is associated with Russian cuisine, but it is not the same as the mayonnaise-based salad often called Russian salad in English-speaking countries. Its defining ingredients are beets and a vinegar-and-oil dressing, rather than mayonnaise.
Vinaigrette salad is a classic of Russian cuisine and is also eaten across parts of Eastern Europe. Recipes vary by household and region, but cooked beets, potatoes and pickles are characteristic ingredients.
The name refers to the vinegar-based dressing traditionally used for vinaigrette salad. The word “vinaigrette” comes from French and means a vinegar dressing; over time, it also became the name of this distinctive beet salad.
To slow the color from spreading, coat the diced beets in a little oil and fold them into vinaigrette salad last. The other vegetables may still take on some color as the salad sits, but this step helps keep them more distinct.
Yes, vinaigrette salad can be made ahead and chilled in a covered container. The flavors blend as it rests. If you want a brighter look, keep the beets separate and mix them in shortly before serving.
Freezing vinaigrette salad is not recommended. Potatoes and beets can become soft and watery after thawing, while the pickles lose their crunch. Refrigerate leftovers instead, and serve them chilled.
Sour or dill cucumber pickles are the usual choice for vinaigrette salad. Their tart, savory flavor balances the mild potatoes and sweet beets; sweet pickles can make the finished salad taste noticeably different.
Vinaigrette salad works well alongside roasted or grilled meat, fish, or other savory mains. Its tangy vegetables provide contrast to richer dishes, and it can also be served on its own with bread as a light meal.

Vinaigrette salad is a cold Russian vegetable salad made with cooked potatoes, beetroot and carrots, usually with peas and pickles, all tossed in an oil-and-vinegar dressing. Its vivid colour comes from the beetroot, while the pickles add a tangy, savoury contrast. Recipes vary by household, and the dressing is not necessarily a French-style vinaigrette.
It is commonly served chilled as a side dish or part of a spread, alongside other salads, bread or a main course. The vegetables make it a source of carbohydrates and fibre; a 100 g portion has 2.2 g of fibre. For a lighter version, use less oil and let the cooked vegetables cool before dressing so they hold their shape.
