German Herring Salad with Beetroot

Herring, a staple on German tables, is one of the most abundant fish species in the world. This dish, with its perfect blend of apples, onions, pickles, red beetroot, and a delicious sour cream dressing, is a testament to the love for herring in German cuisine. I don't know any herring fan who doesn't love this tasty way of eating herring!

Instructions

  1. Prepare the herring by rinsing it with water and tapping it dry.
  2. Peel the onion, peel and core the apple.
  3. Cut the ingredients: onion into small cubes, apple and pickles into medium-sized cubes, and herring into 2 cm wide slices. Traditionally, beetroot is also cut into medium-sized cubes for this salad. However, I am serving the salad as a Christmas starter, so I want it to look extra nice. Therefore, I cut the beetroot into half and slice it.
  4. Mix herring, onion, pickles, apple, and the dressing ingredients in a small bowl.
  5. Once the salad is mixed, it's time to personalize it. Correct the seasoning by adding salt, pepper, or sugar to suit your taste. This step allows you to take control of the dish and ensure it's exactly how you like it.
  6. To assemble the salad, I used the dessert ring. It was 3 cm high. For this fancy look, I stuck a half slice of the beetroot to the edge of the salad.
