Instructions
Step 1
Make the Herring Salad with your tried and tested recipe. The top layer in it should be beets, smeared with mayonnaise.
Step 2
A salad made on an oval dish can be shaped like a fish. Grate boiled egg whites on a fine grater. Place them on a fish head salad. Make an eye, mouth, fins, tail from pieces of boiled beets. Draw scales over the entire surface of the Herring under a fur coat with mayonnaise.
Step 3
Decorate the salad as a gift box. To do this, lay it on a platter in the form of a rectangular parallelepiped. Cut into strips 2-3 mm thick from boiled carrots - these will be ribbons. Place 4 carrot strips on the salad in the form of ribbons tying the box. In the center of the salad, at the junction of the carrot ribbons, make a bow. Cut carrot strips to different lengths, fold them in half. First, place the 4 larger bows so that they lie between the "box-tying" ribbons. Place 4 more bow elements on top, spreading them evenly. In the center of the bow, put a rose made of butter or carrots (twist a strip of boiled carrots, giving the shape of a bud).
Step 4
Grate the boiled egg whites and divide them in two, spreading them out in different dishes. Pour fresh beet juice in small portions into one of the parts. Stir the egg whites into the juice. Add the juice until the proteins turn purple. On the salad "Herring under a fur coat", sprinkled with boiled egg yolks, grated on a fine grater, put in piles of white and lilac squirrels. Place the parsley sprigs between them. You have got a bouquet of lilacs.
Step 5
Garnish the salad with salted herring roses. Cut the herring fillet into thin slices. Form a rose on a flat plate. To do this, roll the first slice into a cone. Wrap the second slice around the first. Add petals until you get a rose of the diameter you need. Using a spatula, transfer the rose to the "Herring under a fur coat", peel back the petals. Make several roses of different diameters. Decorate the salad with sprigs of parsley and dill.
