Notes

Rosolli’s name comes from the Russian word rossol (brine), a nod to Finland’s tsarist-era roots, but its signature bubblegum-pink dressing has a playful modern twist: Finnish kids call it “joulupukki’s beard cream” because the whipped-cream-and-beet-juice swirl looks just like Santa’s fluffy whiskers after a glögi spill!
