Salad for borscht
Description
A simple dish to prepare. In my family, everyone loves borscht, but only my husband eats beans. So that he doesn't miss out on enjoying borscht with beans, I make this bean salad on the side. The recipe for this borscht accompaniment salad is easy. The only downside is that the beans need to be prepared in advance. You can use canned beans from the store to speed up the process. The salad is tasty, with a sharp garlic flavor and the aroma of fresh herbs. I hope you'll like it :) Serve chilled.
