Herring under a fur coat with apple
Description
This appetizer is quick and easy to make. The delicate, nostalgic flavor of this salad is familiar to all of us from childhood. In my family, for example, it was customary to make this salad for Christmas. I know many people prepare it for New Year’s. In short, we have all tried it, and many of us inseparably associate it with winter holidays. So for everyone who just can’t “catch” the winter mood, I’ll tell you how to make herring under a fur coat with apple. Serve with greens and sauce.

Step 1
1. Let's prepare the ingredients. We need to wash and boil the carrots, potatoes, and beets until tender. I pre-wash, peel, and chop the onion and apple, then cover them with a vinegar solution so the onion won't taste bitter in the finished dish and the apple will become slightly softer and more tart.

2. Separate the herring, remove all the bones, and cut the fillets into fairly large cubes.

5. The last layer is, of course, grated beet. Spread it carefully on top. Coat it with mayonnaise as well — then put the salad in the refrigerator to set. Allow a couple of hours; if you leave it overnight, it will be even better!
