Sillsallad (Herring Salad with Potatoes, Apple, and Beetroot)

Ingredients and Instructions

1 lb. filleted salted herring or pickled herring
2 cold boiled potatoes
1 Granny Smith apple, peeled and cored
1 whole dill pickle
3 whole pickled baby beets, drained
1 red onion freshly ground black pepper to taste
3 tbsp. sour cream
2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
1 tbsp. capers, drained

1. Cube the herring, potatoes, apple, pickle, and baby beets. Don’t worry about making perfect cubes; a general small cubed shape is fine. Slice the onion into thin rings.

2. Gently toss the herring, potatoes, apple, pickle, baby beets, and onion rings together in a large bowl. Then transfer the mixture to a salad bowl and season with pepper. Cover and refrigerate the salad for 4 to 6 hours.

3. Just before serving, mix in the sour cream and garnish with the eggs and capers.
