Lithuanian vegetable salad is very similar to a potato salad.  It is one of the best salad’s  of its kind, we have had.  It is called darzoviu misraine the way we made it or it is known as balta misraine if you do not include the beets.  You can add or subtract vegetables according to your taste, however, the two ingredients that must be included are sour cream and salt.  This salad is typically served at room temperature or cold alongside any number of main dishes.  We enjoyed it with kugela and cabbage rolls as part of our Lithuanian feast. Enjoy!
