Scandinavian style herring salad
Print Recipe Pin Recipe
Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • new potatoes
  • 150-200 g marinated matjes herring
  • 1 small red apple
  • ½ cucumber
  • 1 summer onion with green stalks or small yellow onion
  • 200 g creme fraiche
  • 2 hard boiled eggs
  • fresh dill (optional)

Method
 

  1. Boil the potatoes.
  2. Boil the eggs hard (8 minutes is enough). Let them cool down.
  3. Rinse the apple, don't peel. The red peel brings colour to the salad. If you don't like the peel, then just peel it - no harm done there :)
  4. Cut the apple, cucumber, herring, onion and eggs into small squares. Place everything into a bowl. Add the creme fraiche (and chopped dill). Mix and that's it!
