In order for herring under a fur coat, prepared according to the classic recipe in layers, to be tasty, you need to know some points:
- Choose strong potatoes that do not become watery during cooking. Incorrectly selected potatoes will turn into mashed potatoes and spoil the taste of the dish. Many people boil peeled potatoes - this is wrong, they should only be cooked in their skins;
- Burak having veins in the cross section white, not suitable for salad. Also, do not use forage grades. The ideal beetroot is red in color and has a sweet taste. You should opt for medium-sized fruits;
- Carrots should be sweet, without bitterness. Medium size, fresh and firm;
- If possible, purchase eggs from farmers. They differ in appearance from store-bought eggs. rich color yolk, which will decorate the salad with its appearance;
- You need to choose fatty herring. Definitely lightly salted. Salty fish will over-salt the whole salad;
- Only fatty mayonnaise is used. With a low percentage of fat, mayonnaise is too liquid, it will not be able to saturate the layers well;
- Onions are always soaked in water or pickled. This softens the harsh onion taste. Always placed above the herring;
- There is no need to cut the ingredients into cubes; grated ones give soft taste salad and soak well;
- If you use ready-made lightly salted fillet herrings, then do not throw away the oil, pour it on top of the potatoes and get a rich and delicate taste salad;
- To give spicy taste add an apple with a slight sourness. Grate on a coarse grater. Don't rub it on fine grater, the apple will give a lot of juice and ruin the dish;
- Before starting to form the salad, grease the plate with sunflower oil;
- Coat the layers well with mayonnaise, otherwise the salad will be dry;
- Do not use herring if it has a yellowish tint or foreign odors, which means the fish was not stored properly and may have been spoiled.
Under a thick layer of selected vegetables
Fish are warming from the endless seas,
Among numerous salads and borscht

The dashing wave of her fate is not fabulous,
Which jumps briskly among others like it.
The old man and the net and karma are not about her, -
Pirate ships from fairy tales, then
She did not see that fabulous beauty
Having plowed the oceans for a short time,
But under a layer of cooked beets
Herring has conquered our countries!
A true classic for all time
Herring under a fur coat has been a favorite dish of residents of Russia and the CIS countries since the times Soviet Union. Traditionally, this salad is associated primarily with the main holiday of the year - New Year. Today, few people remember where the tradition of betting on New Year's table herring under a fur coat. Probably the reason is in analogy with an element of outerwear - a fur coat. Just as a fur coat keeps you warm in severe frosts, so does delicious herring, cooked according to original recipe, “warms up” while covering itself with numerous layers of vegetables. Usually the question is how to decorate this dish, occurs infrequently. Any type of greenery is suitable for decoration; it contrasts well with the bright surface of the salad.
There are many variations on how to cook herring under a fur coat. Moreover, this is relevant both to the order of laying the layers and to the ingredients used. Sometimes the recipe for herring under a fur coat involves preparing a salad even with an apple. But the final top layer is always beets. So classic herring under the fur coat, no matter what sequence the layers have, it always has a dark pink color: the beets color the final layer of mayonnaise. Firstly, beets perfectly represent winter clothing, and secondly, the brown color of boiled beets makes this stand out a traditional dish among other dishes of the New Year's festive table. However, it can increasingly be found on any holiday, regardless of the occasion or time of year.

Replaceable Ingredients
The first thing I would like to mention is that the dish requires use large quantity mayonnaise, so it is quite appropriate to replace high-calorie mayonnaise with low-fat mayonnaise. Using low calorie or dietary mayonnaise will reduce the calorie content of the entire dish to a record 1100-1750 calories. It is also recommended to choose the least fatty herring possible. The right fish- no less important point than compliance with layers. I highly recommend not purchasing cut and sliced herring in oil. As a rule, such facilitation of the process affects taste qualities dishes. Moreover, the oil usually contains additional spices that will give the dish a taste that is unusual for traditional herring under a fur coat. Classic version The salad should not contain any spices. But the abundance of greenery is welcome. The final photo shows one of the options for decorating a herring under a fur coat.
