Appetizer
Description
Perfect for the table and with drinks. The recipe is really very similar to the beloved salad Herring Under a Fur Coat. But it is much healthier, as it does not contain mayonnaise or potatoes, and it takes much less time to prepare. This appetizer is traditionally served in glassware. The appetizer is ready. Serve immediately.
