The most popular salads in the USSR, which are cooked and loved in our time: top 3

In the Soviet Union, there was no such abundance of food as there is today. And they used to cook food with very low-quality products. For example, well-known salads such as Dressed herring and Mimosa had a completely different composition of ingredients.

The FoodOboz editorial team shares a selection of three of the most popular salads that were cooked in the USSR and are still cooked today.

Top 3:

Salad "Mimosa"

Nowadays, this dish is prepared with salted and baked fish, grated baked vegetables and onions, but earlier they used to add a lot of melted cheese and grated butter without vegetables. This made the salad noticeably different from the dish we make today.

Beetroot salad with prunes

First of all, this salad is not only healthy, but also very budget-friendly. And it's worth noting that it helps to normalize digestion and cleanse the intestines of toxins and harmful bacteria. Beets also contain betaine, which improves fat metabolism, which is important for those who care about their body shape.

For a bright flavor, you can add prunes, nuts, herbs, and peas to the dish!

Squirrel salad with melted cheese

This budget-friendly salad was on almost every table. Initially, it was made from eggs, processed cheese, garlic, and mayonnaise. But gradually, more and more new ingredients were added, such as sweet red peppers, tomatoes, and herbs.
