Seledka Pod Shuboj - Herring Under FurThis delicious salad is another recipe of Nina, Federica's Russian friend.
Seledka Pod Shuboj means literally herring under fur, it is worldwide known also as dressed herring, herring under coat or, in italian, aringa sotto pelliccia, it takes its funny name because of its top layer. The beets and mayonnaise layer, after some hours of resting in the refrigerator, makes the mayonnaise pinky, like the skin.

It is made by herrings, boiled vegetables and dressed with mayonnaise. Like the classic Russian salad is typically served during winter celebrations. The best herrings you can use are the brine herrings. It's not very easy to find them, but more likely you can buy herrings in oil. If your herrings are in oil, clean them well with paper towel before to use them in the salad. Do not use the ones you can easily find in Ikea marinated with vinegar!! :-)
