Ingredients for 6 servings:

• 500 g beetroot, cooked
• 2 m.-sized onion(s)
• 6 m.-large gherkins
• 700 g boiled potatoes, waxy, cooked
• 6 herring fillets
• Apple, as desired
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 cup of natural yogurt
• 2 tbsp mustard
• Cucumber juice
• Pepper, possibly salt, possibly sugar
• Horseradish, freshly grated as desired

Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Rest time approx. 4 hours; Total time approx. 4 hours 30 minutes

Make sure you let it steep thoroughly!

Rinse the herring fillets in cold water and, if they’re very salty, soak them in cold water for a while. Combine the sour cream and yogurt and season generously with mustard, pepper, and cucumber juice. Cut the herring into bite-sized pieces, dice the remaining ingredients, and add everything to the dressing. Toss the salad thoroughly and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours. Season with sugar or salt, if desired. Freshly grated horseradish also works very well in the salad.
