Instruction manual
1
Pre-boil vegetables and eggs in fresh water. Do not forget that beets should be cooked longer than other vegetables. Also boil the eggs separately to a steep state. Cut the onion rings with a thin knife or chop with a blender. Next, pickle the onions in vinegar diluted in water in a ratio of 1.5: 1.

Carefully remove the skin from the herring, remove the bones and cut into equal small cubes. If it is difficult for you to remove small bones, then you can buy a ready-made herring filet in natural oil or in vinegar filling.
3
Take a flat dish and begin to lay layers in sequence. The first layer is grated potatoes, the second is onion, the third is grated carrots, and the fourth is herring. Every two layers are smeared with mayonnaise. Replace mayonnaise with sour cream as desired. So the dish will be less high-calorie. Do not forget to salt each layer to taste.

Decoration of the Herring under a fur coat salad is the top layer. Grate the beets so that they completely cover all layers. Then smooth the surface of the salad with a spoon soaked in water. Using a grated egg on a fine grater, create an original pattern on a layer of beets. It all depends on your imagination. Wipe excess vegetables on the sides of the dish with a damp cloth. So the salad will look neat and even rounded.
