Makes salad for 10-12 persons.
This salad contains lots of cooked red beet, the sweet taste of which goes
well with salt herring and pickled cucumber. Peel the potatoes, carrots and
beets, and core and peel the apples. Fillet the herring, removing the skin and
even the smallest bones. Cut everything (except eggs) into tiny cubes. Stir
sour cream, mustard, salt and sugar together to make a sauce. Mix all the ingredients
with the sauce, leave covered in the fridge for an hour or two, and take out
about one hour before serving. Put a nice heap of salad in a dish or a bowl,
cover the surface with finely chopped eggs, egg slices or segments, and decorate
with chopped spring onion.
