The salad consists of carrots, beets and parsnips. About the beneficial properties of beets should not write, all know how useful it is. But Pasternak - once popular, now almost forgotten root vegetable with so unhappy destiny that when you say his name, some people think that we are talking about the names of the famous poet. But the fact that the roots of parsnip have been appreciated by Russian gourmets in the early twentieth century, very few people know. Parsnip in pre-revolutionary Russia was preparing easy vegetable dishes that were in the most exquisite menus for ceremonial feasts and receptions. In Europe during the Renaissance, this plant was as popular as it is today conventional potatoes. Now the growers on their acres parsnips, can be counted on the fingers that is regrettable, because it is a spicy vegetable plant is very tasty and healthy. The salad turns on the fan, because the roots have a sweetish taste, but fragrant and spicy dressing fixes it. I think that not only diversity, but even for reasons of utility, it is sometimes to prepare this salad. The name of the salad gave Tanya (tat70 ), for which she thanks a lot!
