What is Herring under a fur coat salad?
Herring under a fur coat salad is a layered dish associated with Russia and the former Soviet Union. Salted herring is covered with layers of potato, carrot, egg and beetroot, with mayonnaise usually binding the layers. The beetroot gives the top its vivid pink-purple colour.
It balances the herring’s savoury, briny flavour with the mild sweetness of beetroot and soft cooked vegetables.
