Russian Beet Salad with Herring image

This salad is commonly known in Russia as a 'Herring under the Winter Coat Salad.' It is a must for every Russian holiday, however, you have to have a taste for herring and beets. Every Russian craves this salad, but my American hubby doesn't care for it. I use a clear bowl for this salad so that you could see all ingredients in it.

Time 1h55m

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 whole russet potatoes
2 large carrots, peeled
2 beets, washed with tops and bottoms removed
½ yellow onion, chopped
1 (12 ounce) jar herring fillets, packed in oil
6 tablespoons mayonnaise
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook the potatoes, carrots, and beets in the boiling water until cooked but still firm, 15 to 20 minutes for the potatoes, 25 to 30 minutes for the carrots, and 40 minutes for the beets. Allow each to cool to the touch before further handling. Remove and discard the skins from the potatoes and beets. Shred the potatoes, carrots, and beets, keeping them separate.
  • Arrange about half the onion and half the herring fillets in a layer in the bottom of a bowl. Cover the layer with about half of the grated potatoes, then a layer of about half the carrot, and finally about half the beet. Spread about 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise over the salad; season with salt and pepper. Repeat the layers in the same order to finish building the salad. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator at least 1 hour. Serve cold.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover beets. I always have a few beets in my fridge, so this is a go-to recipe for me.

I served this salad with a side of rye bread and it was the perfect meal. The bread helped to soak up the delicious dressing.

I used golden beets in this salad and it turned out beautifully. The golden beets added a lovely sweetness to the salad.

I'm not a fan of herring, so I omitted it from the salad. It was still delicious!

This salad is a great make-ahead dish. It actually tastes better the next day, after the flavors have had a chance to meld.
