• Beets can not only be boiled, but also baked in the oven in foil. Then the taste of the salad will intensify. To do this, wrap the washed root crop with foil, make several punctures with a toothpick so that steam comes out, and bake at 200 ° C until cooked.
• If you pre-marinate onions, then it will soften the spiciness and give the salad a little sweeter and more delicate refined taste. For pickling, use a tablespoon of vinegar, a teaspoon of sugar and hot water. Leave for 15 minutes.
• Choose lightly salted herring. Otherwise, pre-soak it in water or milk for about half an hour.

Rinse the herring under running water and pat dry with a paper towel. Separate the fillet from the ridge and cut it into thin strips, which you put in a salad bowl with all the products.

4. Peel the onion, wash and chop. If desired, you can pre-marinate it in table vinegar and sugar. This will make the salad even tastier.

Step 1: Prepare the beets.

Rinse beets, pat dry with paper towels and wrap each in foil. Wrap tightly, maybe in 2-3 layers. Then send the beets to preheated to 180 degrees oven and bake vegetables there for 35-40 minutes.
After baking, remove the foil, cool the beetroot and remove the skin from it.
Peeled beets will only need to be grated on a medium grater.
Important: The larger the beetroot, the longer it takes for it to fully bake.

Step 2: Prepare the herring, onions and eggs.

Rinse the herring fillets with cold water to remove oil, and then wipe dry with a paper towel. Then cut the fish into small cubes.
Cool hard-boiled chicken eggs, peel, and then crumble into medium-sized cubes.
Large pieces in this salad are very handy, so you should not grind both in the case of herring and eggs.
Rinse the green onions, we only need the green part, so feel free to cut off the whitish one. After the feathers, crumble into small pieces.

Let's start putting together the salad. To do this, lay pieces of fish fillet on the bottom of the salad bowl. Top them with two tablespoons of mayonnaise.


Lay the grated beets on top of the mayonnaise. The next layer is again two tablespoons of mayonnaise.


Now it's time for the eggs. Lay them down and cover with the remaining mayonnaise.
Garnish the beet and herring salad with chopped green onions. For greater effect, you can put a small piece of herring and a slice of tomato on top, for example.
Before it's time to serve the salad, refrigerate it to soak a bit.

Step 4: Serve a festive salad of beets and herring.

Serve the festive salad of beets and herring in the same salad bowl in which you prepared it. It is desirable that it be transparent so that the lettuce layers are visible through its walls. Then it will turn out not only very tasty, but also incredibly effective.
