I brought a new twist to this traditional Russian summer salad. Green peas, which I added to the old fashioned vegetable mix, improved the look of the salad and enriched the taste.
The ‘dressing’ for the salad is simple, just to enhance fresh and sweet taste of the vegetables. A little olive oil, chives or green onions and some aromatic dill make this salad so fresh and so summery.
Simple, tasty, in a new way, and easy to make this summer salad with green peas is a keeper.
