On the holiday table a lot of salads do not exist. The times when housewives were engaged in preparing salads were the last thing to go down in history, because if a salad stood for some time, it lost not only its appearance, but also its taste qualities. Now, in the world of cooking, more and more recipes for salad appear, which need to stand for some time and even all night in the refrigerator. Only in this case, the ingredients of salads are able to create one flavor symphony and in unison radiate the beauty of their creation. Portion salads, which are diligently spread in original forms, salads, cakes, the design of which visibly competes with sweet pastries, layered salads, green salads, etc., are becoming increasingly popular. But how can we not recall the favorite salad of several generations, a salad under a fur coat.
Perhaps no holiday feast can do without herring under a fur coat. A great alternative to this salad today is considered to be the Chanterelle salad. According to the technology of preparation, though he strongly resembles his fellow man, he is still different in appearance, taste and ingredients. I want to believe that from now on such a salad will become a frequent guest in your kitchens.

The second layer of lettuce - fried mushrooms with onion. Carefully level it. Then lay out the third layer - potatoes. And now attention - grated potatoes go out a circle of lettuce and make out of our ears a chanterelle and a tail. Gently grease the top and sides of the salad with mayonnaise. This should be done carefully, slowly, so as not to break our structure. Then there is another layer - a layer of carrots. Sprinkle with carrots thickly so that the bottom layer does not penetrate, but chanterelle ears and tail should be covered with carrots only on the sides. The upper part of the ears do not close.
Cut the olives in half, and rub the egg white on a fine terke. Half of the olives form a spout, and with grated protein - sly fox eyes. Pupils of an eye we form from a half of an olive.
