Ingredients

12 ounce jar herring, in wine sauce

1 medium Bermuda onion, thinly sliced

1 large Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored, and chopped

1 medium dill pickle, chopped

1 cup sour cream

1/2 teaspoon sugar

1/8 cup distilled white or wine vinegar

GARNISH: dill fronds, as desired, or chopped and sprinkled atop the salad

Directions

Prep does not include overnight chilling

Remove herring pieces from the jar and drain the sauce, but reserve it for later.

The skin or membrane is edible but some people remove it for a "cleaner" looking salad.

Chop the herring and put it into a medium size bowl.

Combine with the sliced onion, chopped apple and pickle then mix in the sour cream, sugar and vinegar so that the herring is well cover.

Cover the bowl tightly and refrigerated at least 24 hours for the best combination of taste.

To serve, line a decorative bowl with leaves of washed and dried Romaine lettuce and place a mound of the salad in the center.

Garnish, as desired, with dill fronds.

Add a platter of pumpernickel or rye bread cut into small pieces.

To serve as a course for a small group, place some arugula on each salad plate, place a scoop on top, and serve with the bread.

No herring need apply for me; however, my hubby was married to a Dane for 25 years and loves it. Perhaps I'll surprise him with this one day soon, midge. Thanks and you got my hubby's five!
