This salad has not only remarkable taste qualities, but also its indices for nutrition, easy digestibility and the content of the whole vitamin complex due to the variety of vegetables present in it. Well, I think about the benefits of herring, and it's not worth talking about.

And so the structure of the salad is a few layers of vegetables greased with mayonnaise and a layer of finely chopped herring fillets. Herring has a wide variety in terms of salting, the herring is classical without the addition of seasonings in the brine, but there is a herring in mustard, spicy, etc. This variety is a matter of your taste. If you bought a herring, and not a herring fillet, then you need to take care that it's right to separate the fillets from the bones. To do this, along the ridge of the fish (from the head to the tail) do not deep cut and carefully remove the skin, then make cuts on both sides of the fish along the entire length at the level of the junction of the ribs and ridge. Now the fillet can be successfully separated from the bones without subsequent red tape to select the bones. Now, on the board, we cut the fillet into small pieces, you can roll the fillets in a blender, but there is a chance to get a "fish porridge", 2 seconds is enough to get the pieces you need in the size. It's time to start making vegetables. We take potatoes, beets, carrots, we carefully wash the vegetables and put them to stew, it is possible even in one bowl. Only we must remember that potatoes are welded first, then carrots and in the end beets. The quantity of vegetables should approximately correspond to each other in its volume, so that the advantages of one of the components that will influence the main ingredient do not turn out. Boiled vegetables are cleaned and finely chopped or rubbed on a grater (as you like more), again you can apply a blender. Chop boiled eggs and onions. All components must be kept separate.

Now having all the prepared components of the "Herring under the fur coat" we proceed to laying the layers. To do this, it is desirable to use a large dish. The sequence of layers does not matter, it's again at your discretion. Each layer is lavished with mayonnaise. From what mayonnaise the taste of salad depends directly. Also, as fillers, it is possible to use various ingredients, such as lemon juice, various powders between the layers, or superficially.

If in your opinion the salad looks too boring, then no one forbids you to decorate it. For this you can use finely chopped greens, various figurines, carved from vegetables, the blessing for this is now selling a lot of forms.
