This alternative rassol recipe not only tastes great, but it also helps reduce waste and promotes a healthier, more sustainable lifestyle.

Why choose fresh rasola?

Traditional rasol is often made with canned peas, pickles, sausage and mayonnaise. In this version, we choose locally sourced, seasonal and fresh ingredients that are friendly to both our health and the planet.


🥗 Fresh rasola ingredients:

  • 1 rebellion iceberg lettuce (instead of potatoes – fresh and crispy base)
  • 1 cup fresh green peas (not canned)
  • 1 fresh cucumber , cut into small cubes
  • 2 tomatoes , sliced
  • 150g hard cheese , cut into small pieces
  • 1 medium-sized chicken fillet , baked in the oven with a pinch of salt and pepper
  • 2–3 tablespoons light mayonnaise or plant-based sauces

👩🍳 Preparation:

  1. Bake the chicken fillet in the oven at 180 °C for ~20 minutes or until golden brown and juicy. Cool and cut into pieces.
  2. Wash all vegetable ingredients, cut and mix in a large bowl.
  3. Add cheese and chicken fillet.
  4. Add mayonnaise and mix everything thoroughly.
  5. Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator until serving.

🌍 Sustainable tips:

  • Use local vegetables that are available in season – this will reduce your CO₂ footprint.
  • If possible, buy products without packaging – for example, from a packaging-free store or market.
  • Experiment with sauce – try it vegan mayonnaise or a mixture of yogurt and mustard for an even lighter version.
