“Rosoli” is a Finnish traditional salad based on boiled beets, herring, as well as potatoes and carrots. In terms of composition, this salad resembles another Russian salad – “Herring under a fur coat”. However, there is some difference in flavor between these two dishes.
“Rosoli” is not laid out in layers like “Herring under a fur coat”. This salad mixes all the ingredients together, so there is no clear separation of flavors. At the same time, such a decision does not make “Rosoli” worse. On the contrary, the salad acquires a special zest when all the components are instantly combined into a single mass. It
is also customary to serve “Rosoli” salad in separate bowls
.
Before serving, the dish should slightly insist that the potatoes and carrots absorbed the flavors and aromas of herring, sweet beets and pickled cucumbers. By the way, it is recommended to dress the salad with homemade mayonnaise. It makes the dish more tender and slightly creamy.
