Herring salad with apples
Description
Herring with Apples is one of the main salads on my holiday table. It's simple to prepare—no need to cook or bake the apples. So, let's get started. 1. First, boil the potatoes, carrots, beetroot, and one egg. Potatoes and carrots can be boiled together in one pot. Boil the egg and beetroot separately. 2. While the vegetables are cooking, clean the herring. Remove the skin and bones. 3. Cut the herring into small pieces, preferably into cubes. 4. Once cooked, remove the vegetables from the pot and let them cool. 5. Let the egg cool as well. 6. Now, place each ingredient into separate bowls, as we'll layer them. 7. The first layer is potatoes. Spread them out, season with salt, and cover lightly with mayonnaise. Use sparingly, as each layer will be coated with mayonnaise. 8. The second layer is herring. Spread it evenly and cover with mayonnaise. 9. The third layer is carrots. Spread and mayonnaise. 10. Now peel and finely chop the apples. Place them over the carrots. Do not add mayonnaise on this layer. 11. The fifth layer is egg. Chop it as you prefer and place it over the apples. 12. Cover the egg layer with mayonnaise, then place the beetroot on top. Add a small amount of mayonnaise on the beetroot—just about one tablespoon. Garnish the "Herring with Apples" salad with fresh herbs, pickled mushrooms, fresh vegetables—whatever you like! This salad is incredibly tasty and delicate.
