There are many tasty things I like, and two of them take special place in my heart (or should I say stomach?
). One of them is a dessert, so I don't think it can be considered proper food. So here is the another one: "Dressed herring", also known as "herring under a fur coat" (Russian: Селёдка под шубой, tr. selyodka pod shuboy).
In our family we cook it for different big celebrations, like New Year or birthday of someone from our family. It is a layered salad composed of diced pickled herring covered with layers of grated boiled vegetables (potatoes, carrots, beet roots), chopped onions, and mayonnaise. Some people like to add another layer of fresh grated apples.
Nutritious and tasty as hell. At least for me.
