Recipes Salad Vegetable Salad Recipes Beet Salad Recipes Russian Beet Salad with Herring 4.7 (33) 27 Reviews 5 Photos This Russian herring salad is commonly known as a "Herring under the Winter Coat Salad." It is a must for every Russian holiday, however, you have to have a taste for herring and beets. Every Russian craves this salad, but my American hubby doesn't care for it. I use a clear bowl for this salad so that you could see all ingredients in it.
