This is our version of the classic Russian Shuba salad and it is completely delicious. The combination of flavors is unusual and will excite your taste buds. Shuba means “fur coat.” I’m not sure if that was intended to sound regal but I just love all the fun and creative food names in Russian and Ukrainian cuisine. This is a healthier version of the classic salmon layer salad because the vegetables are roasted instead of boiled so you don’t lose any nutrients or flavor with this method. Also, the color of each layer seems more vibrant with the roasting method.
