Mosaic Herring Under a Fur Coat

A striking new take on the famous layered salad that will dress up any table. I'd wanted to make herring under a fur coat this way for ages, and I finally did it — it's one of the prettiest salads in my collection. Instead of grating the vegetables, you can dice them small for a more textured, mosaic-like pattern; or dice the potatoes and grate the beets and carrots. Have fun experimenting!

    1. Wash the potatoes, carrots, and beets, and boil them in their skins. Let cool. Peel the vegetables and grate each on the coarse holes of a box grater into separate bowls. 2. Bloom the gelatin in 125 ml (about 1/2 cup) of water. 3. Cut the herring fillet into small cubes. 4. Warm the gelatin until fully dissolved. 5. Stir the gelatin into the mayonnaise until combined. 6. Divide the gelatin-mayonnaise mixture into 5 parts and fold one part into each of the vegetables and the herring. Mix well. 7. Layer into a mold: half the beets – half the herring – all the carrots – the remaining herring – the remaining beets. Pour any leftover mayonnaise-gelatin mixture over the top. 8. Refrigerate the mold for 3 hours, until set. 9. Before serving, turn the salad out of the mold and cut into portions.
