Fruit and vegetable salad
4 servings
15 minutes
Fruit and vegetable salad is a bright and refreshing mix of fresh and canned ingredients that combines the crunchy texture of cabbage and carrots with the juiciness of apples, oranges, and peaches. Its roots trace back to Russian culinary traditions where harmony of flavors has always been in focus. The light acidity of lemon juice and the sweetness of fruits are perfectly complemented by the creaminess of sour cream, creating a pleasant, refreshing aftertaste. This salad can be served as a standalone dish or as an accompaniment to meat and fish dishes. Its lightness makes it an ideal choice for a summer lunch or festive table, while a sprig of mint adds refined freshness.
