Russian Vinegret Salad (винегрет)

This is a traditional Russian salad. I have modified it to be very low point value for Weight Watchers. The original recipe I used was found here at Sassy Radish a wonderful place to find yummy treats.


1/4 cup onions
1 cup dill pickles
4 cups cooked beets
2 cups potato white
2 cups cooked carrots
1 1/2 cups canned green peas
1/8 cup canola oil
1/2 cup fresh dill


Wash 4-5 carrots, 3 medium beets, 2 medium potatoes. Boil them skins on, in a pan of salted water until tender. When done drain and cover with cold water. When cool enough to handle, gently rub the peels off and discard. Dice the first 5 ingredients. Chop dill. Toss all ingredients in a bowl together. Best if served a few hours or more after it is mixed. Serving is 1 cup for 1 point.
