Cut the herring fillets, tomatoes, and cucumber into small pieces. Dice the onion and mix everything together well. Add a generous splash of balsamic vinegar and oil to the salad. Season with pepper, salt, and dill. Cover and let the salad sit in the refrigerator for at least an hour. I called the salad “à la Papa” because my late father always made it exactly like this. My brother and I always enjoyed the salad so much that my dad always had to make several servings so we could take some home with us.
