Cooking tips
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're using seaweed. All ingredients should be well chilled before assembling.
If you don't have seaweed, you can use pickled cucumbers or mushrooms. Other vegetables can be used instead of beets.
Serve the salad in a pretty bowl or simply in a salad bowl, garnished with fresh herbs. This dish is perfect for any celebration.
