I'm just sure this one is popular puff salad made from beets and herring is the main favorite on most New Year's holiday tables. Why New Year's Eve? Yes, because this salad was traditionally considered “winter”, since it included vegetables long-term storage, which all year round were present in Soviet-era stores and in the bins of summer residents.

The sequence of layers in this salad is not so important and everyone chooses it to their own taste, the main thing is that the beets and mayonnaise are at the very top. I used to think that the herring should always be the bottom layer, however, in this case, when putting the salad on the plate, some of the most valuable ingredient is lost, so now I prefer to put the potatoes on the bottom, which creates a stronger base for subsequent layers.
Ideally, for herring under a fur coat, you should take a whole herring and fillet it yourself, since in this case the fillet turns out to be more juicy, fatty and, accordingly, tasty. But since this is a rather labor-intensive process, for which there is not always enough time and effort, sometimes it is quite possible to use ready-made fillets purchased in a store. When choosing herring fillets in a store, you should give preference to whole fillets rather than pieces in oil, since for such products, selected herring of the best quality is usually taken.
Layers of herring salad under a fur coat are usually laid out in a deep form or salad bowl and served in this form.

- 300 g herring fillet
- 2 medium beets (500 g)
- 3 medium potatoes (500 g)
- 2 medium carrots (400 g)
- 6 eggs
- 1/2 small onion
- 120 g mayonnaise
PREPARATION METHOD:
1. To prepare the salad “Herring under a fur coat” according to the classic recipe, you must first boil all the necessary vegetables. To do this, thoroughly wash the potatoes, carrots and beets without peeling them and place them in a deep saucepan. Pour cold water over the vegetables, bring to a boil over medium heat and cook until tender.
Advice! It is advisable to cook beets separately from other vegetables, since their cooking time is usually longer, and in addition, it can color the vegetables red. Potatoes and carrots need to be cooked for about 40 - 50 minutes after the water boils, while beets can be cooked for 1 to 2 hours depending on their size. The readiness of the vegetables must be checked with a sharp knife - it should enter the middle of the fruit easily and without cracking.
2. Boil the eggs in boiling water for 10 minutes, then add cold water and leave for 10 - 15 minutes to make them easier to peel. 
3. Peel the potatoes and grate them on a coarse grater. 
4. Peel the carrots and grate them on a coarse grater.
It is not at all necessary to wash the grater before each new ingredient, since there is nothing to worry about if one component of the salad becomes slightly “contaminated” by another. The main thing is to leave the beets for last, otherwise they will stain both the grater and the other salad ingredients.
5. Peel the eggs and grate them on a coarse grater.
6. Peel the beets and grate them on a coarse grater. 
7. Peel the onion and chop it very finely.
Advice! For preparing salads, it is better to use red or white lettuce onions, which have a not very strong and slightly sweet taste.

8. Cut the herring fillet into small cubes and you can start assembling the salad. 
9. Herring under a fur coat can be served in any deep salad bowl or baking dish, but today I will show you how to put this salad on a dish in the form of a delicious multi-layer cake. To do this, we need a round ring from a springform baking dish with a diameter of 22–24 cm without a bottom, which must be fastened with a lock, placed on a flat dish and lightly greased from the inside with vegetable oil. 
10. Place grated potatoes on the bottom of this structure, lightly compact them, add salt and grease with mayonnaise.
You don’t need to spread the mayonnaise with a spoon, but simply apply it in the form of a fine mesh over the entire surface. To do this, you need to take a pastry bag with a thin nozzle or use mayonnaise in a small bag, cutting off one corner of it.
11. Place chopped herring on a layer of potatoes. 
12. Evenly distribute the chopped onion over the herring. 
13. Next, put the grated carrots, lightly salt them and grease with mayonnaise. 
14. Place grated eggs on the carrots and lightly salt them. 
15. Place grated beets on the last layer of salad, lightly salt them and grease with mayonnaise. 
16. Keep the herring under the fur coat in the refrigerator for at least 2 - 3 hours so that the salad is thoroughly soaked, after which you can unfasten and carefully remove the ring. 
Before serving, the herring under a fur coat in the form of a cake can be decorated according to your taste and imagination. I decorated it green onions And egg white, grated on a fine grater.

Place potatoes as the first layer. To do this, grind it on a medium grater and distribute it in an even layer, and then grease it with mayonnaise. Here it is necessary to make a small clarification, if you use a little mayonnaise, then the layers: potatoes, carrots and beets need to be slightly salted - I did just that.
Place finely chopped onions on a potato bed and also coat with mayonnaise.
The next layer is the cooked herring fillet, which must be distributed over the onion in an even layer.
Grate the boiled carrots, as well as the potatoes, on a medium grater, place them on top of the herring and coat with mayonnaise.
The final layer is grated beets, which also need to be soaked in mayonnaise and leveled as in the photo. For leveling, it is best to use a regular tablespoon. If desired, the classic salad Herring under a fur coat is decorated with chopped or grated boiled eggs, as well as chopped fresh herbs.

Ingredients
- Potatoes – 2 pieces;
- Carrots – 1-2 pieces;
- Beets – 1 piece;
- Onion – 1 piece;
- Herring fillet – 1 piece;
- Mayonnaise – 5-6 tablespoons;

Preparation The list of ingredients contains only the main products for preparing “Herring under a fur coat” in layers in order. To decorate the popular puff salad, you can use a boiled chicken egg, olives, green canned peas, fresh sprigs of herbs (dill, parsley, green onions).
First boil the vegetables for the dish: carrots, potato tubers and beets. Before cooking, rinse the vegetable ingredients, place them in a saucepan and cover with water. After boiling, reduce the heat and season the water with salt. Boiled vegetables then place under cold water, cool and peel. Prepare a suitable salad bowl for “Herring under a Fur Coat”. If you are using whole fish for the salad, gut it and fillet it, carefully selecting the bones. Cut the herring fillet into small pieces, place the fish in the first layer in a salad bowl.
Peel the onion and chop it finely. If the onion is very bitter, then pour boiling water over it and leave for 10 minutes. Then squeeze it out. Place the onion slices on the herring layer.
Season the onion layer with a mesh of mayonnaise.
Grind the potatoes using a large-mesh grater. Place an even layer of potatoes on top of the onions.

Grind the carrots in a similar way, i.e. on a grater. Place carrot layer.

Serve this salad immediately festive table not recommended. It should soak for several hours. The taste of “Herring under a fur coat” will noticeably change as you wait.
Cooking tips:
- Potatoes for salad should not be crumbly.
- Beets should be of sweet varieties.
- Take lightly salted herring, otherwise the salad will turn out too salty. If you have heavily salted fish, soak it in milk and then rinse running water and dry well. In this case, do not add salt to other ingredients.
- Before adding to the salad, for piquancy, onions can be marinated in a glass of water with half a teaspoon of salt and the same amount (2 tablespoons each) of sugar and vinegar. But this is not for everyone.
- Some of the “Shuba” salad generously coat the layers with mayonnaise so that they soak in faster, but this is wrong, because then the dish will simply “float”. It is better to make a grid of mayonnaise, which can be slightly spread with a fork or spoon. If you don’t have time to wait, it’s better to just immediately mix each component with mayonnaise in a small amount, and then put it in a salad bowl.
- Many housewives add eggs to “Herring under a fur coat.” The layers are arranged in order in this case as follows: herring, onions, potatoes, eggs, carrots and beets.
- To serve “Herring under a fur coat” in a beautiful and original way, instead of a salad bowl, you can place the layers directly on plates using a removable baking dish or cut out plastic bottle rings. Then you carefully remove it, and the finished puff portions of salad flaunt in front of each guest.
- Since the peculiarity of this salad is that it is not served immediately after preparation, but after some time, its decoration may blur and, on the contrary, spoil appearance. Therefore, it is advisable to “beautify” it just before serving.
- In addition to the main ingredients, you can add apples, mushrooms, processed cheese, green peas, nuts, pickled cucumbers (not all at once, no more than one additional ingredient! Such “additional” layers are placed directly on the herring). It turns out tasty and original, but this is no longer a classic recipe, but variations on a theme.
- If you replace classic herring with lightly salted salmon or mackerel, the result will be extraordinary delicious salad, seemingly familiar, and at the same time completely transformed.
We tell you how to cook herring under a fur coat, tasty and correctly, but much faster than usual. You no longer have to wait 2-4 hours for the salad to infuse - this recipe will allow you to serve a juicy “fur coat” to the table in just 30-60 minutes, and, if necessary, immediately after preparation.
- No, we do not suggest radical changes to the recipe. The secret is only to mix the mayonnaise with each ingredient separately, and not at the time of laying the salad in layers, as we usually do. As a result, you will get the same classic herring under a fur coat, only faster.
We supplemented the step-by-step recipe for “fur coat” with a selection of photo ideas for beautiful presentation of salad.
