New Year's salad
Description
Perfect for everyday dining. I particularly like this salad for its unique combination of ingredients, which I haven't encountered in any other salad before. The herring pairs wonderfully with the sweet-and-sour apple, eggs, and cheese. The result is a salad with a bright, rich, and full flavor. Garnish as desired and serve.

Place a serving ring on a small plate. Lay the herring as the first layer, which should be previously cleaned, deboned, and finely chopped.

Next, layer the marinated onion and cover it with a mayonnaise lattice pattern. For convenience, place the required amount of mayonnaise in a small bag, tie it, and cut off the tip.
