Warm salad of beetroots Perhaps borscht, vinaigrette and herring under the fur coat for Russian cuisine are beyond competition, but it's worthwhile to try the beets in French anyway. It is a warm salad in the spirit of all French salads, impregnated with the aroma of wine and supplemented with cheese and greens. On the advice of one French chef, grape wine can be replaced by Martini or Chinzano. His recommendation was based on the fact that using a couple of spoonfuls of wine to prepare a dish, the rest of the wine has to be brought urgently to the table, because it is not kept for a long time, unlike the named brands of Italian vermouth. Their advantage is also in the fact that the taste of herbs and spices, inherent in these wines, is also transmitted to the cooking dish. In addition to beetroot tubers, lettuce is used in the lettuce - chard, as for onions, French preference is given to shallots, but if it is not available, it can be replaced with onion.
