Cucumber-Free Vinaigrette: A Delicate Twist on the Classic

Light, vitamin-rich, very healthy, very bright and tasty! Vinaigrette without cucumbers is not much different from the classic one — its taste is almost the same, but the structure is more delicate. Especially if you take thinly shredded sauerkraut. But you can also add cucumbers, salted or pickled, of your choice.
