Kitchen know-how
Tips for Herring salad with beetroot
Drain the beets thoroughly
Too much red and beet juice makes the sauce thin and covers all the ingredients. Dry the cubes briefly on kitchen paper after cutting.
Apple last cut and mix
Freshly cut apple remains crisp and becomes brown less quickly in the yoghurt mayonnaise. Sauerlicher Varieties equal Matjes and Red Bete.
Variations
How to adapt this recipe
Mayonnaise completely replace with Greek yoghurt and add a teaspoon of horseradish. The result becomes fresher but remains sufficiently creamy.
Dice 300 grams of boiled waxy potatoes and gently insulate them. Increase yoghurt and cucumber water slightly so that all pieces are covered.
