Rosolje doesn’t belong solely to Estonians; the recipe must be shared with Latvians due to their shared heritage in Livonia. When peeking into their eastern neighbors’ cuisine, they also appreciate beetroot-based vegetable salads, but prepared with an oil-based dressing known as vinaigrette. Finns have a salad called ‘rosolli,’ primarily a beetroot-based vegetable salad often with a cream-based dressing, but herring isn’t a mandatory ingredient. The use of carrots is also a distinctive feature, evident in their salad but absent in older Estonian version of rosolje.

Sounds tasty, thanks for sharing 🤤
I don’t think rosolje is common at all these days.
And all of these Finnish, Latvian and Estonian words seem to derive from the dialectal Russian *россол*, meaning “brine” (“salt water” or “pickle”).
Looks like soviet ‘seledka pod shuboi’
рассолье ? You guys called it a Russian name
You had me at herring. Looks delicious!
Ooh I’m Finnish and I don’t like our version but this looks tasty. I’ll have to give it a go sometime.
What’s the recipe?
That’s the way my mother in law used to torture us for WEEKS. Not anymore you bastard. Seems tasty though!
Don’t show this to the Swedes they will just put on a hotdog.
