Salad "Little Fox"

Most likely, there was a salad "Fox coat" in the Soviet times, when on the shelves there were only canned goods, mayonnaise and gifts of collective farms - eggs, sugar, carrots. The orange vegetable contains a lot of useful substances: carotene, vitamins A and E - what can be better for the diet of a healthy citizen? A little later in the standard variation there were marinated mushrooms, salad "Fox fur coat" began to cook on the basis of boiled chicken or turkey, in some versions - veal, but the canonical recipe is his one.

For some reason, this salad is associated with the fall, although a bright and positive color is appropriate on the table at any time of the year.

You can only imagine how the "Fox coat" salad is harmonized with the traditional herring in the same "dress", variegated olive and vegetable greens !
