On meal-plan pages the carbohydrate figure for each meal is calculated by difference: total calories minus protein and fat calories, divided by 4.

Vinegret is a vegetable salad dressed with oil rather than mayonnaise, one of the lightest in Ukrainian cuisine.
About this dish: Vinegret (beet salad)
Vinegret is a salad Ukrainians eat both as a starter and as a side, and it suits fasting days especially well because it contains no animal products. Its base is boiled beet, potato and carrot, with sauerkraut, pickles and onion added. It is dressed with oil, often unrefined sunflower oil, which gives the salad its characteristic aroma. To stop the beet staining everything red, it is first tossed with oil on its own.
It is one of the lightest salads in the traditional kitchen, and most of its energy comes from the oil. By the table a 150 g portion is about 125 kcal. A tablespoon of oil is roughly 120 kcal, so every extra spoon in the bowl raises the count noticeably. Without oil, 100 g of vinegret is just vegetables, about 40 kcal. Sauerkraut adds fibre and tang, but together with the pickles also a fair amount of salt, so if you watch your salt, rinse the sauerkraut.
To make vinegret even lighter, use one teaspoon of oil per portion (about 45 kcal) and add lemon juice or cider vinegar for freshness. To raise protein, mix in beans, chickpeas or a chopped boiled egg, and it becomes a light dinner of its own. Make the base for two days and dress only the part you are about to serve.
