Herring under a fur coat with cheese is a variation of the famous Russian salad that has become an integral part of festive tables. It originated in the Soviet era when housewives sought ways to make traditional dishes even tastier. Here, the familiar layers of potatoes, beets, and carrots are combined with delicate grated cheese that adds creaminess and rich flavor to the dish. The herring soaked in mayonnaise becomes soft and pairs perfectly with the other ingredients. The light spiciness of the onion complements the sweetness of the beetroot, while eggs add airiness. This salad not only pleases the eye with its bright appearance but also satisfies while remaining tender and harmonious in taste. It is perfect for festive gatherings, especially in cold weather when one craves something cozy and hearty.
