Vegetable vinaigrette - tips and tricks
• It is not necessary to cook vegetables for a vinaigrette on the stove. You can roll them in foil and bake in the oven. This is especially convenient if it is preparing another dish. At 180 degrees they will bake for about an hour.
• Beetroot turn out bright and juicy, if boiled for a couple. And next you can lay out a carrot with potatoes.
• If there is no time to cook the beets in the usual way, then you can do it in 10 minutes in the microwave oven. We place the washed and punctured root crop in a bag, we tie it up, and from the top we make a small hole. Put in the oven and turn on for 8-10 minutes, depending on the size.
• To prevent the beets from coloring other vegetables in the vinaigrette, it can be filled with oil separately and then added to the total mass. If you want to get a bright and red salad, then first mix the vegetables with beets and only then fill them up.
