Herring under a fur coat with nuts is an exquisite interpretation of the classic Russian salad. Its history dates back to the early 20th century when the traditional version became a symbol of festive gatherings. This variation adds sophistication to the dish with crunchy walnuts and tender apple that harmoniously complement the usual layers of potatoes, beets, and salted herring. The bright color and rich flavor make it a centerpiece for any festive table. Mayonnaise adds creamy softness, while fresh green onions provide a pleasant spiciness. This dish not only pleases the eye but also satisfies with its balanced combination of ingredients. An ideal choice for special occasions that unites flavors of the past with modern gastronomic notes.
