Dietary herring under a fur coat
Description
Minimum effort — excellent result. The main secret of making a diet version of "Herring under a Fur Coat" salad is, of course, eliminating mayonnaise, which significantly increases the dish's calorie content. Instead, mayonnaise can easily be replaced with sour cream mixed with mustard. The amount of mustard depends on your taste preferences. The salad can be served immediately.
