Comments
    
I dare to recommend you to use non deodorated sunflower oil - it will give good flavor. If you are
not fond of spicy food - do not add vinegar. Even you like the spice food do not add - pickled
cucumbers and sauerkraut give enoough of sourness. 

You can add canned green peas, too. And do not fear to add too much of beefroot - this dished is
based on taste of it.
