Mackerel salad
Description
A simple dish to prepare. For the salad, I buy white salad onions, which have a sweeter taste and lack strong pungency. You can substitute them with regular onions, but first scald them with boiling water or marinate in vinegar with water, sugar, and a pinch of salt. I dress the salad with homemade mayonnaise made with egg yolks. Watch and remember, serve chilled.
