- 250 g pickled/soaked herring fillets (I used matjes)
- 1/2 long green cucumber
- 3 medium potatoes, cooked
- 50 g pickled pearl onions
- 1 tbsp pickled mushrooms
- 1 apple
- 2 eggs
- 3 tbsp chopped dill
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp wine vinegar
- 1 tbsp mustard
- 1/2 tsp sugar
- nutmeg
- pepper

## Instructions

While looking for new ideas for a **herring salad**, I came across this one. It suited me really well, because I happened to have a jar of pickled pearl onions that needed using up. It's also a simple, quick herring salad, and quite hearty at that. Despite the potatoes it's light, and the cucumber and pickled onions add freshness. It's good for any party, including as a dish for New Year's Eve.

*Inspiration – "Kuchnia Polska" (Polish Cuisine), Reader's Digest*

**Directions:**

Cut the herring into small strips. Peel the apple, cucumber and potatoes and cut them into a small dice. Boil the eggs, peel them, and then cut them into half-slices. Drain the onions and mushrooms and cut them in half or chop them. Gently mix all the ingredients together.

Make a dressing from the mustard, sugar, pepper, nutmeg, wine vinegar and olive oil, and then pour it over the salad. Mix, garnish and serve.

Enjoy!
