Herring salad
Description
A simple dish to prepare. To some extent, the recipe for herring vinaigrette can be called a lazy version of "shuba." The perfect combination of salty fish and vegetables is just what you need for lunch or dinner. As a dressing, you can use either vegetable oil or mayonnaise, or a mix of both. Serve chilled.
