  • As you can see, this is just your everyday Herring Under a Fur Coat—only with a secret! Cook the vegetables, then peel and slice the herring and finely chop the onion. To make things easier, I grated the vegetables on a medium grater into separate bowls. For the design I picked a Santa Claus image—always a fitting choice this time of year!
  • Print a picture on paper. You have two options: print it to the size of your intended salad and gently use it as a template, or just eyeball it like I did.
  • The trickiest part is laying out the first layer of grated beet in Santa's shape. After that it's easier—spread grated potato over the shape, then finely chopped herring, minced onion, grated carrot, one grated egg, and the secret ingredient: a grated juicy green apple (it adds moisture and delicacy to the salad). Any variety works, but I've found Golden Delicious is the juiciest.
  • Coat with mayonnaise, then repeat the layers in reverse: apple, one egg, carrot, herring with onion, potato, and beet. Cover with mayonnaise. Now for the fun part—start "drawing" Santa, using only what went into the salad!
  • Make the coat with beet, the fur trim with finely grated yolk, and the toy sack with grated carrot. Add the eyes, mouth, and nose, cut a staff from beet and carrot, and finish the design by piping everything with mayonnaise. Enjoy, and happy holidays!
