  • To make this salad, you'll want boiled vegetables and eggs on hand. So boil the beets, carrots, and potatoes until tender, and hard-boil the eggs.
  • Peel the onion, chop it finely, and put it in a small bowl. Add the salt and sugar, pour in the balsamic vinegar, stir, and let it marinate for a few minutes.
  • Once the vegetables are boiled and cooled, start building the salad:
    • peel the potatoes, grate them on a fine grater, spread them in an even layer on a flat dish, and pipe a lattice of mayonnaise over the top;
    • next, add a layer of the pickled onion (squeeze out the liquid first!);
    • dice the herring fillet, removing any bones you come across, then add another mayonnaise lattice (of course!);
    • peel the carrots, grate them on a fine grater, and spread them over the herring;
    • peel the apple too (use a juicy variety), grate the flesh, and spread it evenly;
    • peel the eggs, grate them as well, lay them over the apple layer, and coat with mayonnaise;
    • peel the beets, grate them on the coarse side, form the top layer, and coat with mayonnaise.
  • That's it — the salad is ready!
  • It's best to let it rest in the fridge for an hour, but if you're short on time you can serve it right away.
  • Enjoy!
