📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Rasols is the salad Latvian families always make for holidays and birthdays: boiled potato, boiled egg, pickles, meat (ham or chicken), and green peas are finely diced and dressed with sour cream and mayonnaise. Some versions add beets to turn it pink. The Latvian way is to make a huge bowlful.

🌆 Where it's eaten: At a Latvian family birthday party, a big bowl full of creamy salad sits at the center of the table.
