Vinaigrette with herring - general principles of cooking
The composition of the salad with herring as well as in the classic version, includes vegetables: beets, carrots, potatoes, onions. Vegetables are thoroughly washed, the onions are peeled and finely chopped, the roots are boiled until tender, cooled and crushed.
Also, some prefer not to boil the vegetables, and bake in the oven, the taste of the salad is more saturated and fragrant.
Salad fish are taken lightly salted, whole or already prepared, peeled in jars. If the herring is whole, it is cleaned, the skin is removed, fins and tails are removed, the fillet is removed from the bones. It is necessary to work very carefully so that there is no single bone left. If there is no desire to mess with the fish, then the finished fillet will be an ideal option for you.
Additional ingredients can be pickles, greens, canned peas, and even sausage, it all depends on your taste preferences.

Vinaigrette with Herring - Tricks and Tips & Tricks
• Before cooking or baking, do not forget to thoroughly wash the vegetables. First, during heat treatment, no dirt will be eaten into the pulp of the roots. Secondly, it is easier to wash the pots.
• Boil beets separately from other vegetables, especially if they are large, because the cooking time for all vegetables is different. Carrots and potatoes after boiling water will be ready in 12-15 minutes, beets - in 20-25 minutes.
• If the composition of the salad has canned peas, then it is better to purchase this ingredient from a reputable manufacturer, or in glass containers. Often, yellow or crumpled peas are hidden in a tin can, which, of course, will spoil the appearance of the salad and its taste.
