The benefits of salad ingredients
Before proceeding to the recipe for the “Herring under a fur coat” salad roll, I propose to briefly learn about its benefits. Let's take a look at some of the ingredients.
1. Herring
It should be noted that herring is rich in fatty acids (Omega-3), which increase the level of good cholesterol, prevent the occurrence of atherosclerosis, heart and vascular diseases, and protect us from aging. Herring is also a source of protein that provides us with energy. In addition, herring contains many trace elements (phosphorus, iodine, potassium, calcium, sodium, magnesium, fluorine, zinc) and vitamins (D, B12, A, PP).
2. Beets
Beetroot is an indispensable product for constipation and excellently helps with weight loss, and when boiled it helps in the treatment of hypertension. It contains a lot of iodine and magnesium.
3. Potatoes
Potatoes contain many trace elements (phosphorus, magnesium, potassium) and vitamins (PP and C). It is saturated with amino acids, incl. those that are considered irreplaceable for the body. However, one should not forget about its high calorie content, about 2-3 times more than other vegetables.
In the recipes adapted for today's time, carrots and onions are also added to the herring under a fur coat salad. However, this is the desire of every housewife. Well, now, I offer you the recipe for the legendary salad.

Cooking Salad "Herring under a fur coat" roll
First, boil the potatoes and carrots in salted water. This can be done in one saucepan, since they have about the same cooking time - 40 minutes. Then let the vegetables cool completely.
Also place the beets on the stove. Add salt to a saucepan and pour vinegar, this will prevent the vegetable from discoloration. Beets are cooked for about 2 hours. After that, it should be completely cooled.
Since vegetables will cool for a long time, I recommend boiling them in advance, for example, in the evening.
Now get down to shaping the "Herring under a fur coat" salad with a roll. Wrap the mat (bamboo mat) with cling film. If you don't have one, you can use baking paper.
Peel the beets, grate and place them evenly on the mat. Lubricate it with mayonnaise.
Now peel and grate the potatoes, then place them on top of the beets and lightly brush with mayonnaise.
The next layer is carrots. Do the same with it as with beets and potatoes.
Put peeled and chopped herring and finely chopped onions on the carrot layer. It is not necessary to grease them with mayonnaise.
Now the most crucial moment - gently roll up the entire structure with a roll. To do this, lift the mat on both sides towards each other. Then bend one side, and put the other on it. Smooth the seam and wrap the roll with cling film to soak a little. 1 hour will be enough.
After this time, unfold the roll, put it on a dish, decorate it with green leaves if desired, and you can serve the Herring under a fur coat salad roll to the table.
