Russian Cabbage and Beet Salad

Russian Cabbage and Beet Salad

This salad is irresistible – colorful and delicious! You must keep it under a press overnight (or for 24 hours) and then in the fridge for best results. It tastes much better if you keep it in the fridge for a couple of days before eating.

Ingredients

  • 4 pounds shredded cabbage
  • 2 carrots, peeled and grated
  • 1 beet, peeled and grated
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 4 cups water
  • ½ cup white sugar
  • 2 tablespoons salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 cup white vinegar
  • ½ cup vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1
Combine cabbage, carrots, beet, and garlic in a large glass bowl.

Step 2
Stir together water, sugar, salt, and pepper in a large saucepan over medium heat and bring to a boil. Stir in vinegar and oil and heat for 30 seconds, but do not boil anymore.

Step 3
Pour hot brine over vegetables and stir to combine. Place a plate on top of the vegetables and weigh down with a bowl of water or a full can of beans. Press at room temperature, 8 hours to overnight.

Step 4
Transfer salad into 8 pint-size jars, seal, and store in the refrigerator.

Cook’s Note:

I often make a ginger variation for my husband (he's a big fan). I grate some fresh ginger into each jar in step 4. It gives it a very interesting, aromatic flavor.
