Borscht dressing is a great all-purpose preparation that you can use all winter long. You won't need to peel and chop a large amount of vegetables every time as you can just add a few spoons of the ready-made dressing. This will save you a lot of time, and the taste will pleasantly surprise you.

The idea of preparing a delicious borscht dressing was published on the Instagram page of food blogger Halyna with the nickname reeixit.
