Grated boiled beet root covered with mayonnaise as a final layer gives the salad a rich purple color. Dressed herring salad is often decorated with grated boiled eggs (whites, yolks, or both).
Dressed herring salad is popular in Russia, Ukraine (Ukrainian: Оселедець під шубою, translit. oceledets pid shuboyu), Belarus (Belarusian: Селядзец пад футрам, translit. selyadets pad futram) and other countries of the former USSR (Lithuanian: Silkė pataluose, Latvian: Siļķe kažokā, Polish: Śledź pod pierzynką).
