    My OXO Grater (affiliate link that helps my channel): amzn.to/41g1aMb
    Dressing:
    130g (2/3 cups) mayo
    2 tsp fresh squeezed lemon juice
    1 tsp Dijon mustard
    Salt to taste
    Mix everything together in a small bowl.
    For assembly:
    400g beets (2 medium beets)
    400g boiling potatoes (like red bliss or yukon gold) (2 medium potatoes)
    40g finely diced white onion (about 1/4 onion)
    1-2 Tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
    2 hard boiled eggs
    50g peeled honeycrisp apple (or some other firm sweet tart variety) (about the size of 1 egg)
    300g* herring (or 200g smoked salmon) chopped into bite size pieces
    * If you are buying deboned herring in oil, get two 250g packages. If you are buying herring whole, buy 2 fish. In both cases, you might have a bit of herring leftover. Most smoked salmon comes in 4 oz packages. You’ll need 2 packages.
    Preheat the oven to 350F (180C). Set a flat rack into a baking dish. Scrub the beets and potatoes well. Wrap the beets in one piece of foil. Wrap the potatoes in another piece of foil. Place in the baking dish on top of a rack and bake in the middle of the oven until tender, 1.5-2 hours. Unwrap, cool completely, peel, and grate on large holes of a box grater (potatoes into one bowl, beets into another).
    Divide the mayo dressing between the beets and potatoes. Season them with salt and mix well (be gentle with potatoes). Taste and correct for salt. Divide the beets into 2 portions. Divide the potatoes into 3 portions.
    Put the onions into a small bowl, add the lemon juice and salt and mix well.
    In a dish of your choice that is 4-6 cups in capacity and about 2 inches deep, layer all the ingredients in this order:
    A third of potatoes
    Layer of herring
    Sprinkling of onions
    A third of potatoes
    Half of beets
    Grate one egg on top. Grate about the same amount of apple on top. Repeat the layering in this order: herring, onions, potatoes, beets. Clean the edges of the dish. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight. Reserve the second egg in the fridge and grate it on top right before serving.

    I always add cubed apples to my potato salad and everyone says it’s the best potato salad they’ve had. I’m a big fan of adding apples to savory cold 1:09 dishes for sweetness and crunch, so thanks for backing up my theory Helen! You rock!

    My family (Polish) does herring in beets for Easter but we also like to have a herring salad once in a while for our Sunday breakfast. It's diced Matjas herring with diced and blanched onion and grated apple, seasoned with lemon, sour cream and a little mayo. Yum! 🐟😋

    I see a lot of shuba recipes with carrot. Any particular reason you nixed that ingredient? They probably brought the touch of sweetness you got from the apple in your case.

  • @JuliaGO1
    @JuliaGO1 5 місяців тому +4

    Salmon really does make it better! I used to dislike shuba until I tasted one made with salmon and garnished with pomegranate. You can also make it with canned tuna as a last resort but it's not nearly as good.
    By the way, do you have an opinion on using vacuum sealed cooked beets vs cooking fresh beets in this? We've used them in other salads and it's so much easier

    • @helenrennie
      @helenrennie  5 місяців тому +3

      Since I would need to cook potatoes anyway, I feel like I might as well cook the beets, but I don't see why vacuumed beets would be a problem.

    Hey Helen, I wonder if you've ever tried adding a diced apple into your Russian salad as well? I was quite surprised by what I perceived as an "omission" in your original Not Your Grandma's Olivier video and find it amusing that here the apple pops up in a very similar context (for me a Russian salad is incomplete without the apple).

    how would this taste with pickled herring instead of salted? i know you advised against it but i've got a jar in my fridge I have next to no idea what to do with and want to try it in something.

    • @helenrennie
      @helenrennie  5 місяців тому +3

      That's like asking someone who hates cheese if it's ok for you to put cheese in a sandwich. If you like cheese, why wouldn't you put it in a sandwich. pickled herring is acidic and sweet. So the dish would taste more acidic and sweet. It's not a problem if you like it.

    Any thoughts on a vegetarian version? I suppose you can leave out the fish, but then you'd miss the salt,y smokey component. Could some kind of olive work as a substitute in this?

    • @TheMovingEye
      @TheMovingEye 5 місяців тому +1

      Depends on where you live, but vegan lox (smoked salmon) is getting popular, at least in Europe (must be those vegan scandinavians asking for it). It works comparatively well, its smokey and salty. You can replace the egg with mashed chickpea "egg" salad
