Cooking tips

The potatoes, carrots, and beets must be completely cooled before assembling, otherwise the mayonnaise will melt and the layers will lose their crispness.

Use a good quality mayonnaise and add some fresh herbs, such as dill or green onions, for a brighter flavor.

Don't oversalt the salad, especially if you use lightly salted herring.

Substitutions: If you don't have herring, you can use any other fish. Green onions work well in place of the onions.

Serve the salad in a pretty bowl or simply in a salad bowl, garnished with fresh herbs. This dish is perfect for any celebration.

To compensate for the lack of an egg layer, you can include a thin layer of finely chopped pickles or marinated mushrooms - this will add freshness and volume to the flavor.
