Oma’s Herring Salad

My Grandma’s Herring Salad feeds 6-8 people. It is quite simple and very, very good.

Ingredients:

  • 750g of Herring fillet
  • 300g of sausage meat
  • 3 sour apples (Granny Smith)
  • Mayonnaise
  • 4 Gherkins
  • Cranberries
  • 4 Boiled potatoes
  • 1 Onion (grated)
  • Sour Cream
  • A jar of capers (optional)

Directions:

  • Mix the following to make a marinade: mayonnaise, Cranberries, sour cream, Capers (if you are using them) and onion. The Cranberries add the colour to this recipe (note no Beetroot)
  • The other ingredients are to be cut into cubes and then stir in the marinade. Ideally let is sit overnight in the fridge to allow the flavours to properly mix.
