Rosolli is a colorful Finnish salad that is especially popular during the festive Christmas season. It is very easy to prepare rosolli – the ingredients are simply chopped or boiled, then mixed together. Although there are some variations, the salad typically consists of boiled potatoes, boiled carrots, boiled or pickled beets, chopped onions, chopped apples, and a few pickled cucumbers cut into small pieces.


Once assembled, rosolli is traditionally served with a flavorful sauce on the side, made with heavy cream, vinegar, and sugar. If desired, garnish the salad with chopped hard-boiled eggs.

The salted herring is soaked in a mixture of milk and water before it's chopped and mixed with chopped apples, onions, and gherkins. The chopped egg whites are added to the salad, along with mustard and sour cream. The salad is chilled overnight and it's then topped with chopped egg yolks and a dash of paprika before serving.
