Discover MLYN's beautifully layered Shuba Salad — a classic Ukrainian and Eastern European dish featuring pickled herring, potatoes, boiled eggs, onions, beets, and carrots, all dressed with creamy mayonnaise. Also known as 'Herring Under a Fur Coat,' this stunning salad is a showpiece on our menu at Corydon Avenue in Winnipeg.
Shuba Salad, affectionately known as 'Herring Under a Fur Coat' (Selyodka Pod Shuboy), is one of the most iconic dishes in Ukrainian and Eastern European cuisine. At MLYN, we prepare this classic with meticulous care — each layer of pickled herring, boiled potatoes, eggs, grated carrots, beets, and onions is precisely assembled and dressed with mayonnaise to create a harmonious blend of flavours and textures.
The result is a visually stunning, perfectly balanced salad where the briny richness of the herring meets the earthy sweetness of beets, the creaminess of eggs and potatoes, and the sharpness of onions. Our Shuba Salad is a favourite among guests who appreciate authentic Ukrainian cuisine and is a must-try for anyone visiting MLYN on Corydon Avenue.
