Cooking spicy herring under a fur coat
The first step is to prepare the vegetables for the salad. Tubers of potatoes, carrots and beets should be well washed and boiled.

Pour boiled roots with cold water for a short time. Thus, they cool faster, it will be easier to clean them. Thoroughly peel potatoes, carrots and beets. Then use a coarse grater to chop the vegetables.
To prepare the salad, each vegetable should be grated in a separate bowl.
Now you can start preparing the filling for the rest of the layers. To do this, you need to grind the herring from the preserves. Free the sour apple from the skin and core, grate and sprinkle with the juice of half a lemon. Walnut kernels need to be chopped and lightly fried in a pan without oil, and then cooled.
When all the products for the fur coat are prepared, you can proceed to the main action. Place a layer of potatoes on a dish, then a layer of onions. Drizzle with preserves oil.
The next layer in the fur coat should be made of herring, followed by a layer of carrots, apples and beets. And only now you can generously smear everything with mayonnaise. Decorate the top of the herring under a fur coat with fried walnuts. If necessary, you can repeat all layers in the salad again.
For the final decoration of the herring under a fur coat, you can decorate the top of the dish with roses from boiled beets and carrots, supplementing them with sprigs of parsley.
