1. STEP 1

   

   The herring I have here is pickled, but you can also use salted

Maria Kruus, I also prepared a similar salad several times, only I also had fresh pepper instead of cucumber, and everything else was the same. When I prepared it, I was very doubtful about sour cream, but it turned out that I was worried in vain, sour cream comes in very handy here, the taste very pleasant and tender, cook it, friends, and don’t be afraid of anything, the salad is excellent!

Maria was drawn to just such a salad. But unfortunately, all products except herring are in stock. I’ll wait until tomorrow. Thanks for the recipe

No, Shura, there cannot be pepper in this type of salad. It is traditional for the Baltic regions; paprika, you understand, did not grow here! I read that in some areas they prepared it for the New Year. Obviously, the original ingredients were herring, apple and pickled or pickled cucumbers, fresh - this is a modern trend.

Shura, what alternatives for dressing are possible besides sour cream, by the way? The recipe, in fact, if it is traditional, looks like a Lenten recipe: fish, vegetables, New Year... but then there should have been no sour cream in it.

Magnago, it’s like milk mushrooms with sour cream, you should try it once and you won’t be able to put it down, the same with herring with sour cream, even though the Dutch always chew herring, we love it more, and the fact that they radically changed the dressing is for variety .I would like to call the herring a socialist fish, as it is popular in different regions of our Motherland, experienced housewives were even able to distinguish the gender of the herring by the eyes (they said that a boy herring with milk had red eyes, and a girl with caviar had yellow eyes), and if there is only one eye, it means it is a flounder. They catch herring and eat herring. Magnago, I like the sauce for herring (water, mustard, vinegar, sugar, vegetable oil, you can make it spicier by adding hot pepper, ginger and other spices), you can prepare a wine sauce and season the salad with it, Onion sauce is also good, but it won’t be suitable for salad. I think you can mix olive oil in half with sour cream, add your favorite spices, boiled egg yolk, turn everything into a homogeneous mass and dress our salad. Magnago, why isn’t sour cream sauce suitable for salad for the New Year? Do you think it won’t go well with strong drinks? I would like to know your opinion.

Why shouldn’t sour cream sauce go well with strong drinks?! All my life I have been able to combine just wonderfully! No, maybe you can’t call this a diet, but, in my opinion, the problem is not in the combination with sour cream, but in the excessive consumption of something stronger... No, Maria simply wrote that the recipe is an old one and for winter use , so I wondered if he was on his way to the Nativity fast. But then it shouldn’t contain sour cream, it’s an animal product.

I really liked the salad, I just think if you add pickled onions and season it not with sour cream, but just with vegetable oil, it should also turn out good
