“Herring Under Fur Coat”

“Herring Under Fur Coat”



Herring Under Fur Coat is a word-to-word translation of russian name of this salad: “Seledka pod Shuboj”, which represents salted herring under a “coat” of boiled vegetables.


This is my version:

The salad is layered into a bowl  in following oder.

grated boiled potato

marinated herring pieces (sursild)

marinated red onion ( red onion and white wine vinegar)

pickled cucumber or gherkin

boiled grated beetroot

salad dressing (pepper mix,  mayonnaise and sour cream, salt and sugar of course also)

crushed boiled eggs


Layer the ingredients 2 times and leave the top without the egg. Pick the surface with a grill stick to make way for the dressing to soak down. Cover with foil and leave to set in the fridge for 24 hours.

Top and garnish with crushed boiled eggs and serve.
