Anyone who has been to Latvia and dined in one of many roadside and country pubs (krodziņš) will know that pretty much any meal is served with potatoes and at least two kinds of salad. It can be coleslaw (but, surprisingly, without mayo dressing), carrot salad, beetroot salad, pickled cucumbers… Summer slaw (jauno kāpostu salāti) is quite popular in summer as it is made from young cabbage that is not so intense in flavour or dense in texture and barely any dressing.

Thank you for this page. I ha e not been to Latvia but would love to go. We are hosting a young lady and I truly needed to research what they like to eat there and this was so much help.
Thank you again.
