Dressed herring (seledka pod shuboy)

Ingredients

• Recipe:
• lightly salted herring – 1 pc
• medium potatoes – 2 pcs
• carrot – 1 pc
• beetroot – 1 pc
• red onion – 0.5 pcs
• mayonnaise – 150 g
• sunflower oil – 1 tbsp

Method

1. Step 1

   To prepare a delicious layered herring salad, all vegetables need to be boiled in their skins until tender. Tip for beetroot: so that the beetroot are cooked and do not lose their colour, after boiling, cook for 1 hour over low heat, then drain the boiling water and fill with very cold water - you can add ice, leave until it cools completely.

   
2. Step 2

   It is better to take herring with medium salinity. Separate the fillet from the bones and cut into cubes. I put the herring at the very bottom, sprinkle finely chopped onion on top and pour over refined sunflower oil - it helps to reveal the taste of the herring and acts as a preservative, which allows the salad to stay fresh a little longer. Although, this salad is eaten very quickly and does not need to be stored.

   
3. Step 3

   Next comes a layer of potatoes. I grate the potatoes on a medium or coarse grater; if I grate them on a fine grater, they stick together and the salad doesn’t taste the same. Top with a thin layer of mayonnaise. It will taste better if you use homemade mayonnaise.

   
4. Step 4

   The next layer is carrots on the same grater + mayonnaise.

   
5. Step 5

   Finishes with a layer of grated beetroot. Spread mayonnaise on top and decorate at your discretion.
