Wash the beets, potatoes, and carrots thoroughly. Place them in a large pot, cover them with water, and bring to a boil. Cook over medium heat until tender: 40β50 minutes for beets, 20β30 minutes for potatoes and carrots.
Once cooked, drain the vegetables and let them cool until they can be handled comfortably. Peel the beets, potatoes, and carrots.
Dice the beets into small, uniform cubes. Transfer the diced beets into a large mixing bowl.
Dice the potatoes and carrots into cubes of similar size to the beets, and add them to the mixing bowl.
Chop the pickles into small pieces and add them to the bowl with the vegetables.
Add the sauerkraut and green peas to the bowl, making sure to drain any excess liquid from the peas if using canned peas.
Drizzle the sunflower oil over the salad, and season with salt and black pepper. Gently stir all the ingredients together, ensuring the vegetables are evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.
Taste the salad and adjust the salt and pepper if needed.
For best flavor, refrigerate the Vinegret for 1β2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
