Salad with herring and tomatoes
Description
A simple dish to prepare. For a more attractive appearance, you can replace the onion in the salad with red or green onion. The herring salad will taste much better if you let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. Serve it cold with bread, unsweetened pastries, or lavash.

Cut the lightly salted herring into slices and place in a container. If you bought a whole fish, do not remove the milts or roe — add them to the salad as well.

Step 5
Rinse and chop fresh parsley or dill. Add the chopped herbs to the container, pour in the vegetable oil from the canned fish or regular oil, and gently mix the entire dish. There's no need to add salt to the salad, as the herring is already salty.
