Almost like a vinaigrette, someone might say, looking at this recipe. Say - and make a mistake! Indeed, in the vinaigrette, the main taste is set not at all by the beet (although without it in any way), but by the salted cucumber. And in our salad cucumber is fresh, and the dressing is not made from vegetable oil, but from mayonnaise. And the rest, yes - a bit like a vinaigrette. Also beets, also peas. After all, the beauty of culinary creativity is to create many different dishes from a certain set of products.
So, we prepare a simple and delicious beet salad with green peas!
