In late autumn and winter, as well as in early spring, I really want a delicious vegetable salad. These days, with nostalgia, you remember a young radish fresh from the garden, ripe juicy tomatoes and crispy cucumbers. Of course, now you can buy fresh vegetables all year round, but is it worth it to be tempted by them in winter? Greenhouse fruits, although beautiful, as in the pictures, are practically tasteless and certainly not as useful as soil grown in their season!

Nothing, the time for natural garden gifts will certainly come a little later, but for now it’s time for no less tasty supplies prepared by gardeners since the summer: beans, potatoes, all kinds of marinades and pickles. Let's climb into the pantry or cellar, get some of these delicious supplies and prepare a winter salad called "Rustic": simple, but so delicious! It combines simple ingredients that are easy to find at any time of the year: potatoes, beans, mushrooms, pickles.

A characteristic feature of rustic salad is not only the simplicity of its composition, but also the ease of preparation. Boil, cut into large cubes, mix - and no frills! Perhaps that is why it has such a name.

As you can see, the rustic salad is unpretentious, but, as you will soon see for yourself, it is delicious, like a restaurant dish! Having tried it once, you will write down the recipe in a culinary notebook so that from time to time you can treat your family and guests with a delicious salad. It will be a great alternative to the traditional winter dish - vinaigrette.


Rustic salad goes well with a variety of side dishes - rice, pasta, buckwheat. You can not cook cutlets or chops: thanks to beans and mushrooms, even without meat, it turns out tasty and nutritious! The village salad is very satisfying - you can eat a serving just with bread, and you get a full-fledged snack.

  • Cooking time: 35 minutes
  • Servings: 4

Rustic salad ingredients

  • 4-6 small potatoes;
  • half a can of canned beans in their own juice (or 1 cup of boiled beans);
  • half a can of canned, pickled mushrooms;
  • 2 pickled or pickled cucumbers;
  • 3-5 sprigs of parsley.

There are two options for refueling:

  1. Mayonnaise.
  2. Unrefined vegetable oil (sunflower or olive).

Salt and ground black pepper to your taste.

How to make rustic salad

Wash the potatoes well and boil them in their skins until soft. Pour cold water to make it easy to peel, let stand for 5-7 minutes, and then peel.


Rinse pickled mushrooms under running water and dry in a colander.

Rinse the canned beans and let the water drain. Or boil dry beans until soft and drain the water. A salad with multi-colored beans will look very nice: not only white, but also motley, spotted, beige!


We cut the pickles and potatoes into cubes of about 1x1 cm, it can be larger.


Combine potatoes, cucumbers, beans and mushrooms in a bowl, add chopped parsley.


Salt, pepper and mix. Please note: if you are going to season with mayonnaise, then salt a little less than necessary, since the sauce already contains salt.


Now let's make the salad. I tried two options: with mayonnaise and with vegetable oil. It turned out delicious in both cases, but the impression is that the oil is still more harmoniously combined with a set of products. Many ingredients of a rustic salad - mushrooms, cucumbers - have their own bright taste. Mayonnaise, also possessing a tangible taste, competes with it, but fragrant unrefined oil more harmoniously complements the salad. Try it yourself, and then write which option you like best!


We serve the salad, decorating it with sprigs of fresh herbs - parsley, celery or arugula.

This amazingly tasty meat appetizer can often be found under a different name: Pork and Onion Wedding Salad. Obviously because in the countryside this dish is usually prepared on solemn occasions.

Since the villagers are busy people, it takes a minimum amount of time to prepare the salad. You need to boil the meat, mix it with onions and spices and refrigerate overnight, and preferably for a day. Thanks to long-term marinating, the meat turns out to be so spicy and tender that it is simply impossible to tear yourself away from it! That's all the tricks.

  8. Wash the bell pepper and remove the seed box. Cut the pulp into small cubes.
  9. Wash the leek and chop the white part into thin rings.
  10. Decorate the salad with leek, bell pepper and season to taste (paprika, oregano, etc.).

The classic salad recipe uses pork, but we suggest you replace it with tender chicken liver. In combination with boiled new potatoes, spicy pickles and fresh herbs, its taste is revealed in a completely new way.

Honestly, the salad is so delicious that it is very difficult to stop eating it, moreover, all the necessary products for its preparation are almost always at hand, in every home. I want to warn you: immediately take larger plates for salad, otherwise you will not have time to blink an eye, as they will be empty. Interested?

If so, come on in and enjoy!

We were lucky to be among those invited to a real village wedding! Enjoyed a lot! It felt like we were back in the dashing nineties! Firstly, this event was celebrated not in a cafe, as is now customary, but at home, in a hut specially built for this purpose, which was a huge tent with tables and benches inside. Secondly, almost all local residents were invited to visit. Restless cooks, racing with each other, rushed from the kitchen to the tent, bringing more and more new dishes, which already stood on the tables in two tiers. What was there just was not even counted! And how delicious! “This is our signature salad, it is prepared for all events, in every home,” a woman sitting next to me whispered in my ear. "You should definitely try it," she added, which we, in fact, did.

For salad

Pork (boiled) - 500 g
White onion - 2 pcs
Greens (parsley) - 2 tbsp. l.

For the marinade

Water (cold boiled) - 50 ml
Sugar (spoons with a slide) - 3 tbsp. l.
Salt - 1.5 tsp.
Vinegar (wine) - 9 tbsp. l.
Black pepper (ground) - 0.5 tsp
Vegetable oil (or olive) - 5 tbsp. l.

To prepare this salad, we need to pre-boil pork meat with the addition of a whole onion, bay leaf and allspice, at the end of cooking, add a little salt to the broth. For one liter of water, add one teaspoon of salt without a slide.
The meat for this salad should be undersalted, because it acquires the main taste in the marinating process. It is important! The main condition: do not digest the meat, so that it does not fall apart into fibers and retains its aesthetic appearance when cut. Based on my experience, I will say that one hour is enough to cook a piece of pork weighing 500 g. It is necessary to take into account the fact that the meat will still be marinated in vinegar dressing, and, as you know, it softens the meat. I advise you to take the shoulder blade of the carcass. It is ideal for this salad, because after cooking it remains tender and at the same time keeps its shape well. Cool the meat in the broth.

Cut white lettuce or red onion into thin rings using a shredder.
Chop parsley and mix gently with onions.
I want to draw your attention to the onions in this salad! You can put it many times more and boldly cut into larger circles or straws. The onions in this marinade are so tasty, beyond words! And eaten all, to the last petal. It is a fact!

Cut the meat into strips 1 cm thick, put in a suitable container and cover with a lid so that it does not wind.

Rustic Wedding Salad Ingredients Prepare the Vinegar Marinade. To do this, mix well: 50 ml of cold boiled water, 3 heaping tablespoons of sugar, 1.5 teaspoons of salt, 9 tablespoons of wine vinegar, 0.5 teaspoons of ground black pepper and 5 tablespoons of vegetable oil. You can add ground chili if you like.
Don't be intimidated by the amount of vinegar - the salt and sugar will balance everything out. The taste of the marinade should be spicy-sour-sweet, otherwise the meat and onions will be insipid.

Alternately layer meat and onions with greens, generously pour all this beauty on top with the resulting marinade.
Place the lettuce in the refrigerator for at least eight hours, stirring gently several times. I want to say that the longer the salad is marinated, the tastier it is. This is an indispensable condition: the salad must be thoroughly brewed and soaked with marinade, then the success of the dish is one hundred percent guaranteed!

After the marinating time has elapsed, it remains to spread the finished salad on plates. If desired, you can once again refresh it with herbs and serve.
I want to warn you: immediately take larger plates for salad, otherwise you will not have time to blink an eye, as they will be empty.

For some time now, I have been preparing this salad for all home holidays without fail. If you serve it with ketchup, then the meat in the salad tastes like barbecue. In both versions, a new and very interesting snack is obtained. Try to cook at least a small portion of this salad for testing, you will definitely like it, I assure you! There will be no indifferent - that's for sure!
