This Russian herring salad is frequently referred to as “Herring under the Winter Coat Salad.” Every festival in Russia requires it, but you have to enjoy herring and beets. This salad is a favorite among Russians but not among my American husband. For this salad, I used a clear bowl so that all of the ingredients could be seen.
