Salads prepared for the winter are very popular, because it is so nice to open a jar in the winter, which you have prepared yourself since the summer. Salad “Pyaterochka” got its name for a reason, because it consists of five ingredients – vegetables. It takes a little effort and time to make it, but it’s worth it.
