Easy Shuba Salad
Shuba is a layered (herring fish) salad topped with boiled vegetables such as potatoes, carrots, beets, and mayonnaise. Known as dressed herring or herring under a fur coat, this Russian and Ukrainian beet salad is a Holiday staple in most families!
Ingredients
Shuba:
- 1 XL beet, (or 2 medium)
- 1 medium potato
- 1 medium carrot
- 2 oz herring fish fillets marinated in oil, (1/4 cup of diced herring)
- 1 cup mayo
Instructions
How to make Shuba:
- Boil the first three ingredients in a large pot over medium heat for 30 minutes (remove carrots after the first 15 min as they get tender faster.)
- Cool and peel the skins off with a sharp knife. Grate separately. Set aside.
- Finely dice the fish and spread out onto a serving dish. Top with potatoes, carrots, 1/2 cup mayo, beets and remaining 1/2 cup of mayo. Refrigerate overnight for the beets to seep into the mayo. Serve.
Notes
NOTE: 1/2 diced onion can be added atop of the fish when layering.
- Beets: An XL beet should equal up to 3 cups of grated cooked beets.
- Herring Fish: is sold in most European Markets where Russian or Polish goods are sold. Look for packaged Herring in the fridge or cooler section.
