Norwegian-style salad
Description
Unlike herring under a thick mayonnaise-potato "fur coat," this salad turns out very light, almost diet-friendly. It's low in calories, and the ones present are perfectly balanced—fatty fish is offset by tangy juicy apple, sharp onion, and boiled beet. There's no trace of potatoes here, and, most pleasantly, mayonnaise is replaced with oil and wine vinegar. So those watching their weight can eat it without worry—Norwegian-style salad won't add extra inches to your waistline. Capers give the salad not only a piquant flavor but also a certain "festive" touch, making it suitable for holiday menus. Now, let me tell you how to make it.
