Nowadays, people continue to prepare the salad and serve it both for family dinners and for festive tables.
There are several secrets that will help you get a truly bright and incredibly tasty vinaigrette.
Butter is beetroot's friend
You should boil or bake the root vegetable, then cut it into cubes. Place the vegetable in a deep container, add a small amount of vegetable oil, and mix everything.
Oil is a friend of beets, as it prevents other ingredients from turning a deep red. Do not boil the root vegetable without the skin.
Such beets will result in the dish losing its appetizing appearance, as they will turn into a beet salad in their color.
How to cut cucumbers correctly
If the pickles are firm and crisp, you can cut them into larger pieces. If you bought a soft product, then it's worth cutting it in half and removing the watery core with a knife.
But don't overdo it, because it's enough to remove a small amount of the core. Thanks to this, the vinaigrette won't turn out too wet.
Boiling potatoes
Very often housewives boil potatoes in their skins. Yes, such cubes will not fall apart and will be dense. However, you will not get light cubes, they will come out quite sticky.
For vinaigrette, it is better to boil peeled potatoes, which are pre-cut into cubes. To prevent the pieces from losing their shape during heat treatment, add vinegar to the pan. A teaspoon of the ingredient is enough for several liters of water.
You can replace vinegar with lemon juice. It is also worth quickly cooling the potato cubes. To do this, place the product in a colander after cooking.
Cooking carrots
Most often, housewives boil or bake the vegetable whole. As a result, the carrot turns out too soft. It is better, as in the case of potatoes, to boil the vegetable, cutting it into cubes.
Cooling should also be fast. This will ensure that the carrot cubes retain their beauty and perfect consistency.
Features of onions
Onions are often found in vinaigrette recipes. If you don't like bitterness, chop the vegetable, put it in a colander and pour boiling water over it. This will make the salad taste softer and more delicate.
Now you know how to make the perfect vinaigrette. Every guest in your home will definitely like this salad!
