How to make herring salad with homemade mayonnaise.
Boil all the vegetables unpeeled. When soft, pour out the water, cool them and peel them. Afterwards grate them on a large mesh grater.
Hard-boil the eggs. This should take 9 minutes. When cooked, peel them off and grate on a large-mesh grater.
Peel the red onion and cut it into very small cubes. Put the chopped onion in a bowl, add the apple cider vinegar to it and stir. Let it rest for 20 minutes.
Mix mayonnaise with cream, lemon juice, a pinch of salt, pepper and mustard.
Cut the herring into small pieces.
Arrange the vegetables, herring and mayonnaise sauce in layers in a bowl. Start by putting half of the potatoes on the bottom, then half of the carrots, half of the beetroots, herring, mayonnaise sauce, onion, then the remining potatoes, carrots and beetroots. I put some grated eggs on top.
The finished salad must be cooled in the refrigerator.
Good to know when making herring salad with homemade mayonnaise.
I used herring in oil brine. Personally, I do not like herring in vinegar or salt, so I did not choose those versions.
You can replace the red onion with white onion or shallots.
I prepared this salad in a layered form. You can also combine all the ingredients instead of stacking them in layers.
