- Start by prepping the ingredients. First, scrub the potatoes and carrots under running water. Put them in a pot whole, cover with water, and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, lower the heat and simmer the vegetables until tender. Drain, then spread them out on a large flat plate to cool—you can cut them into chunks to speed things up. Clean any forest debris off the mushrooms if needed, then rinse and pat them dry with paper towels. Any mushrooms work here, from oyster mushrooms and button mushrooms you can grab at any store to wild mushrooms you've foraged in season. You can use fresh or frozen mushrooms; just remember that many varieties need to be par-boiled first, and frozen mushrooms should be thawed ahead of time. Cut the mushrooms into small pieces. Peel the onion and dice it small. Lay the fish fillet on a cutting board and dice it small as well. Grate the cooled carrots and potatoes on the large holes of a box grater. Grate the hard cheese too, but on the medium or fine holes. Cut the olives into pieces (save three olive halves for the fox's nose and eyes). Set everything in separate bowls. Heat a skillet with vegetable oil over medium heat and add the onion. Sauté, stirring occasionally, until soft. Add the mushrooms and cook until done, 10–12 minutes. Now for the fun part—assembling and decorating the salad: spread a thin layer of mayonnaise over the bottom of a nice flat plate, top with the chopped herring, and pipe a crosshatch of mayonnaise; next, layer on the onion-mushroom mixture and add another crosshatch of mayonnaise; the third layer is the potatoes, topped with more mayonnaise; finish with a layer of carrots. Decorate by arranging the fox's features with the cheese and olives. The salad is done! Chill it in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving.
