Finnish Salad “Rosoli (Brine)” with Herring

Finnish salad "Rosoli (Rassole)" is very similar to our herring under a fur coat, only it is not prepared in layers. Our favorite vegetables and herring are cut into cubes and seasoned with mayonnaise. I really like this version of the salad for its simplicity of preparation.

Directions

1. Boil beets , potatoes, eggs and carrots until tender. Everything is cooked one at a time, because the cooking time is different.
   Cool and peel boiled vegetables and eggs.

   

2. Chop the red onion finely and cover with cold water, leave to release the bitterness.
