Step-by-step recipe

Step 1:

Finely chop the onion and grate the carrots on a coarse grater.

Step 3:

Choose herbs to your taste (parsley and dill are best) and chop them.

Cooking tips

The jars must be sterilized to ensure the solyanka lasts as long as possible.

After adding the vinegar, do not let the solyanka boil. Add the vinegar at the very end.

This solyanka goes well with many foods and can serve not only as a standalone dish or side dish, but also as a base for making cabbage soup or pie filling.
