This salad is much tastier than the usual “Herring under a fur coat”.

Those who are tired of the standard "Herring under a fur coat" should try a new delicious salad. There is a favorite combination of herring and beets, but the salad is not "burdened" with potatoes, carrots and mayonnaise, but is dressed with a light aromatic sauce based on olive oil, lemon juice and soy sauce.

Beets for salad are best baked in the oven in foil. If, nevertheless, boiled beets are used, then it is imperative to squeeze out the excess juice. For cooking you need:

• Beets 3 pcs.
• Herring 1 pc.
• Eggs 5 pcs.
• Greenery
• Lemon 3 wedges
• Olive oil 2 tbsp l.
• Soy sauce 1 tbsp l.
• Sugar 1 tbsp. l.
• Mustard 1 tsp

First, let's prepare the dressing sauce. Combine olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, sugar and mustard. Stir well. Remove the zest from the remaining lemon skin with a grater (only the yellow part). Apply lemon zest to the rim of the salad bowl (or bowl) using a brush dipped in water.

Now we spread the salad. The first layer is grated beets. Pour it a little with the prepared sauce. Then put the pieces of herring, after removing all the bones. Sprinkle chopped herbs over the herring. You can also add a pinch of lemon zest for aroma. Pour some dressing over again.

Divide boiled eggs into whites and yolks, three of them separately on a grater. The next is a layer of grated yolks, we also pour a little sauce over it. Put the grated egg whites last. You no longer need to season this layer with sauce. We send the salad to brew in the refrigerator. When serving, decorate with herbs on top.

• If you pre-pickle the onions, then they will soften the pungency and give the salad a slightly sweet and more delicate refined taste. For pickling, use a tablespoon of vinegar, a teaspoon of sugar, and hot water. Leave it on for 15 minutes.
• Choose slightly salted herring. Otherwise, pre-soak it in water or milk for about half an hour.
• If you don't want to mess around with peeling herring, use ready-made herring in jars, cut into pieces.
