under the fur coat
Description
A simple dish to prepare. This salad is especially suitable for those who don't like salty herring. I know such people—while they generally enjoy the salad, they'd gladly replace the fish with something else. So why not? If you're a devoted fan of the classic "herring under a fur coat," by all means stick to your preference. But for everyone else, I offer this recipe. Serve chilled.
