I am so excited to share this smoked salmon salad with you.

It's our version of the classic Russian Shuba salad,

and it is completely delicious.

Let's begin;

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit

and arrange carrots and potatoes

on a foil lined baking sheet so they aren't touching.

Make sure to pierce the potatoes all over

with a fork so they don't burst while baking.

Tightly wrap each beet with heavy duty foil

and place them seam side up.

Baking times may vary based

on how large your vegetables are.

Using tongs, remove veggies from the oven

as they finish baking.

Carrots take about 45 minutes, potatoes 60 minutes

and beets between 60 and 90 minutes.

Let those cool to room temperature,

then peel the skins with a paring knife.

Now in a 9x13 casserole dish,

place 12 ounces of smoked salmon

and shred it apart with two forks.

Grate potatoes on the large holes of a box grater

directly over the salmon and spread it evenly.

Sprinkle one small, very finely chopped onion

over the potatoes.

Now spread the top with 1/2 cup to 3/4 cup

of real mayo, or add it to taste.

Using the same box grater, shred the roasted beets,

and spread them evenly.

And I suggest wearing gloves whenever you're peeling

or grating beets, that way your hands don't turn purple.

Grate the roasted carrot right over the top.

(kazoo music)

Now add your remaining mayo,

either 1/2 a cup or 3/4 cup,

depending on how moist you like the salad.

Our last layer.

Finely grate four large hard-boiled eggs

evenly over the surface.

All right, and last but certainly not least,

a sprinkle of fresh green onion

just to make it real pretty.

And now the taste test, the moment I've been waiting for.

I love this recipe, I've been enjoying it for years.

And if I were to name a favorite food,

this would probably be it.

Seriously delicious and I'll never get tired of it.

Ooh, big portions, of course.

(kazoo music)

Wow.

Better get it in my plate quick.

Oh, look at those beautiful layers.

Can't wait to dig in.

All right, here we go.

Probably one of the few pink salads in the world.

Truly delicious though.

Mmmm.

Mm-hmm.

This is crazy good. (laughs)

Wow, every layer is so delicious.

I love the sweet beets and the kinda salty, smoked salmon.

This is really good.

This is perfect for potlucks or parties.

It always disappears fast, major crowd pleaser.

A little weird, but totally delicious.
