We recently attended a family wedding party and my cousins were preparing all types of dishes, too many of them. This salad stood out the most to me and I made sure to get the recipe down. We stayed till after the wedding and had dinner there, and you’ve guessed it, I had seconds.
There were a few adjustments that I’ve made to the recipe, to simplify the steps, but the flavors are still there.
P.S. Isn’t this the perfect color for the Valentine’s Day. Make sure that either everyone eats or skip out on the garlic, you know what I mean 😉

This salad is so tastey! I made this salad on the first day though I think I added too much garlic because the taste was strong. My hubby loves garlic so he didn't mind. The next day the salad tasted yummy too. My hubby kept on commenting on how nice it smelled and that it is the type of salad you serve at weddings. He even mentioned it a few times. Will be making this again! ???
Hey Olga, I am so excited that you guys loved it. I am a huge garlic fan so I try to tone it down for the blog sometimes but the true colors still come out 🙂 lol Glad you guys loved it
Thank you so much for the idea. Had two be beets left from shuba the other day, and wondered what to do with them:) They are boiling now, gonna make it today!
Oh so awesome!!! I hope you love this salad. Tell me if you do 😉
Hey really want to try this. Got a few questions first. Can mayo be replaced with Greek yogurt, can I use red cabbage instead of green and will the doktorskaya kalbasa (same kolbasa that's used in olivye) work for this recipe? Thanks!
I am sure that you can do all those things but I am not sure if the salad would taste the same. I haven't used Greek yogurt as dressing so I can't tell you for sure.
Will this still taste good without sausage, sorry but it disgusts me..
Yes it definitely will. But sausage adds a special texture to this salad. Either way it's a winner 😉
Natasha, are the carrots cooked or raw? Thank u
Carrots are raw in this recipe. Enjoy 😉
Is this meat from the Russian store? What's it called?
Any of the dry smoked sausage from Russian store would work. I believe they have dry Russian or Moscow. I hope this helps.
Beet salads are one of my favorites. Thank you for sharing!
Awesome, I love beets too. I think growing up with red borscht made all of us love them 🙂 Hope you love this recipe.
This looks yummy! I love beet salads
