The process of preparing the Paramonikha salad
Prepare all the necessary ingredients, measure out all the vegetables in equal proportions, and increase the quantities if desired. Wash and dry the tomatoes, remove the stems, slice them into wedges, and place them in a bowl.
Peel the bell peppers, remove the seeds, and cut them into strips. It's best to choose thick-walled, fleshy, and ripe peppers. Add the sliced peppers to the tomatoes.
Afterwards, chop the peeled onion – cutting it into half rings is the best option, since we are preparing a salad, and all the vegetables should be clearly visible in the finished product.
Peel and wash the carrots, cut into strips or cubes. Add the carrots to the bowl with all the vegetables.
Pour in a portion of vegetable oil.
Sprinkle the salad with salt and sugar, and add black peppercorns. Place all ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a boil.
Cook the salad for 15 minutes from the moment it boils, at the very end pour a portion of 9% vinegar into the salad, stir and immediately remove from heat.
Divide the salad into sterilized jars and immediately seal them with lids. Turn the jars upside down and cover them with a blanket. Cool the salad for 24 hours and then transfer to the cellar.
