Beets are so good for you any day of the year. But January 7th is Christmas here in Russia, honest to Father Frost it is, according to the Orthodox calendar. Sounds like a good time for traditional Russian beet salad.

Perfect treat for the holidays - tastes exactly like full calorie version

This is a delicious and healthy alternative to potato salad. It packs a wonderful 4 grams of fiber per serving and works great as an attractive and tasty side dish for any potluck, barbecue, or any meal. This is a traditional Russian side dish that my mother has passed on to me and my friends and I love it! Everybody always asks me to make it for cookouts and pool parties.

My grand mom recipe adopted by me.

Called "vinegret" in Russian because of its dressing, this is an easy and healthy side salad featuring beets, potatoes and pickles.

You can cut/shred all your veggies ahead of time, just be sure to keep potatoes submerged in water once peeled or they will turn brown.

If you have leftover cabbage and carrots, toss them in a bowl with a pinch of salt and use your hands to knead the mixture, similar to making dough. Makes a great low calorie and fat coleslaw-type side dish to a meal.

Bliny are traditional Russian pancakes, similar to crepes. They can be eaten with just about anything: jam, honey, cheese, caviar, etc.

Tvorog is an all natural, soft, tasty cheese that Russian's farmers have made for centuries.Traditionally, tvorog is made with raw milk which has been allowed to sour naturally.

I know, a borscht isn't meant to be vegetarian but this one is. It has been passed down in my family for many many years, it started in Russia and I have made it my own.

Lite & Lovely!! The Cocktail for a Ballerina.

I included both the light version of this recipe and the decadent frozen chocolate ice cream version.

This has a subtle difference to the Thousand Island dressing that is so popular.

A delicious hearty and healthy sup.

Finish this soup with a dollop of greek yogurt or sour cream and a pinch of chopped dill.

Old world, vegetarian, low carb, delicious, Russian Beet Salad.

An everyday Russian rye sandwich bread

A garlicky chopped mushroom salad that can be a base for many Russian salads. Try mixing in 4 chopped eggs or your regular egg salad. Add small pieces of cooked cauliflower for a version of a Russian mushroom "potato salad".

Even if you are new to beets or have a solid history of anti-beet sentiment, give this traditional Russian salad a try! Beets are a good source of vitamin C and potassium.

Can be made vegan, love this dish. This recipe is not mine. I got it from:
