Herring Under a Fur Coat

A festive layered salad with salted herring topped with a "fur coat" of beets, carrots, potatoes, and mayonnaise. Best assembled in advance to allow the flavors to meld.

Ingredients

• 2 pcs Salted herring (fillet)
• 3 pcs Potatoes
• 2 pcs Beets
• 2 pcs Carrots
• 3 pcs Eggs
• 1 pcs Onion
• to taste Mayonnaise

Instructions

1. Boil the vegetables and eggs, cool, and grate them on a coarse grater separately. Finely chop the herring and onion.
2. Layer on a dish, spreading mayonnaise between each layer: potatoes → herring with onion → carrots → eggs → beets.
3. Spread mayonnaise over the top layer of beets. Refrigerate for at least 2–3 hours (preferably overnight) to allow the salad to absorb the flavors.
