Herring Appetizer with Pickled Onion
Description
A tasty appetizer for any gathering. To make pickled onion, it's best to use a sweet onion (but regular yellow onion works too—you'll need to add a pinch of sugar). For fruit vinegar, I recommend apple cider vinegar, as it helps remove the bitterness from the onion. You can also use other herbs instead of dill, such as parsley or cilantro. If your herring is lightly salted, you can add a little extra salt. Be sure to serve this appetizer directly on a slice of bread—it's more convenient. It can be served warm or chilled.
