I named this salad the Modern Ukrainian because It has a few items that are traditionally used in Ukrainian cuisine- namely the beets and dill. My grandparents were both born and raised in a small Alberta town with a large Ukrainian community, so even though we aren’t Ukrainian, I practically lived on beets and dill flavoured everything as a child!
