SALAD:    Vinaigrette

There’s something wonderfully grounding about a bowl of vinaigrette — the kind of salad that feels like it’s been passed from one generation’s table to the next. Earthy beets, tender potatoes, and sweet carrots come together with bright pickles and sauerkraut, creating that unmistakable balance of comfort and sparkle. It’s simple, honest, and quietly beautiful, the sort of dish you make when you want color in winter and a little nostalgia in every bite.
