Boil the potatoes, carrots, and beets separately until tender.
Boil the eggs for 9 minutes, cool, and peel.
Cut the herring fillets into small cubes and finely chop the onion.
Grate the boiled vegetables and eggs into separate bowls.
Layer the potatoes, herring, onion, carrots, eggs, and beets in the serving dish.
Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise between every two layers and sprinkle with black pepper.
Rest the shuba salad in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, then slice and serve.
💡 Tip: If the herring is very salty, soak it in cold water for 15 minutes so the salty fish does not dominate every layer of the salad.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Take shuba salad out of the refrigerator and let it stand for 10 minutes, then serve it like a meze plate with optional rye bread.
