Vinaigrette for winter

Vinaigrette is perhaps the most popular of winter salads. Bright presentation and useful content make him a frequent guest in our kitchens. However, a lot of time is spent on its preparation, since most of it is spent on preparing products.

This recipe is good because after spending one day preparing this salad, you can enjoy it at any time.

Rinse beets and carrots under running water and boil in a saucepan when fully cooked. It should be borne in mind that carrots cook for about an hour, and medium-sized beets for about 1.5 hours. You can check the vegetables for readiness by piercing them with a fork or a kitchen knife.

Cool the cooked vegetables, peel and cut into cubes.

Peel potatoes, wash and cut into small cubes. Put the sliced potatoes in lightly salted water, boil for 5 minutes. It should be ready, but in no case should it boil.

Peel the onion, rinse and finely chop.

Mix all the chopped vegetables in a large bowl, putting the ready sauerkraut there.

Wash the jars thoroughly. Boil the lids.

Spread the vinaigrette evenly into the prepared jars.

Prepare marinade for preservation. To do this, pour water into a saucepan, boil, add salt, vinegar and continue to boil the marinade for a couple of minutes.

Pour the prepared marinade into jars with vinaigrette.

Sterilize the salad jars. To do this, put a clean towel folded in several layers on the bottom of a large saucepan, fold the jars with vinaigrette and pour water at room temperature. The water in the pan should cover the jars almost to the lids, but not close them. Cover the jars with sterilized lids. As soon as the water in the pot boils, reduce the heat to a minimum so that the boiling water does not boil much and does not get into the containers themselves. Thus, boil the jars with vinaigrette for 15 minutes, then take them out and roll them up.

Put the jars upside down on a large board and cover with a blanket until they cool down. After that, you can put it in a dark, cool place for storage.

Now you can enjoy the vinaigrette at any time and not waste time cooking it. Especially winter vinaigrette helps out when unexpected guests visit. Bon appetit!
