Preparation

  • 1 Cook the potatoes in a pan with water and salt, but do not overcook them. They have to stay firm for the salad. Rinse the potatoes under running water to stop the cooking process.

  • 3 For the dressing, mix the horseradish cream with the sour cream (in a small bowl).
  • 4 Drain the pickled herrings, but save the liquid (use a sieve / bowl for this).
  • 5 Add 0,5 tablespoons of the pickled herrings' liquid to the dressing. Mix again and season with pepper and add the lemon juice.
  • 6 Cut the herring diagonal into 3 cm stripes. Cut the beetroot, apple and red onion in slices. Chop the dill.
  • 7 Mix 80% of the ingredients with the dressing and save the rest for garnish. Season with salt and pepper.
  • 8 Put the herring salad on a plate and garnish with the rest of the ingredients. Enjoy!
