This is traditional Russian salad (the one is known as Russian salad in India, can’t speak for another countries, is different and cooked far from original as well, plus didn’t exist for that long in Russia as this one). Vinegret salad is originally vegan, very simple to cook and healthy (If you strictly control your carbs, this recipe might be not for you. And, of course, consume bread according to your diet).

- 1-2 tbsp of oil
