Vinaigrette with beans is a hearty salad rich in protein thanks to the addition of beans. Its healthy composition is ensured by a variety of vegetables that not only decorate the dish with their colors but also give it the necessary lightness.

This classic Ukrainian recipe does not contain mayonnaise, making it more dietary and light. Moreover, you can experiment with the salad's composition — try adding sauerkraut for a deeper flavor.

Vinaigrette with beans is made based on traditional Ukrainian ingredients, which perfectly combine to create an amazing composition of flavors and aromas.
