Síldarsalat

Description
This herring salad is a fresh and unusual addition to a brunch meal or cold buffet.

Ingredients

 * 1 apple (Red Delicious or other sweet variety)
 * 5 – 6 slices pickled red beet
 * 2 – 3 fillets marinated or spice pickled herring
 * ½ – ⅔ cup mayonnaise

Directions

 * 1) Take about half a cup of mayonnaise and stir well to prevent it from lumping.
 * 2) Cut the herring into small slices and the apple and beet into small cubes.
 * 3) Add to the mayonnaise and mix well.
 * 4) The salad should be a rose-pink colour - if not, add some of the juice from the beets.
 * 5) Serve with rye bread or crackers.

Variations

 * Top with slices of hard-boiled egg (optional).
 * Replace half the mayonnaise with sour cream for a healthier salad.
