Herring Salad for Daily Table

4 servings

Ingredients

• 2 soup plate potatoes
• 2.5 pcs soaked herrings
• 2 saucer red beets
• 2 saucer sour apples
• 2 saucer meat
• onions (a little)
• oil (a little)
• vinegar (a little)
• pepper (a little)
• salt (a little)
• sour cream or milk/water (as needed)

Instructions

1. Take 2-3 soaked herrings, chopped or sliced, for two plates of potatoes.
2. Add two saucers full of red beets, the same amount of sour apples and meat, all finely diced.
3. Carefully mix with onions, oil, vinegar, pepper, and salt so that everything remains whole.
4. If you have sour cream, add a little to the sauce; otherwise, mellow the vinegar with a little milk or water, as this salad needs plenty of sauce.
