Haringsla

Description
The Netherlands are famous for their herring, so it isn't surprising they use it in many recipes. This is a salad with pickled herring.

Ingredients

 * 1 lettuce (inner leaves only)
 * 3 apples
 * 3 pickled herring, chopped
 * 3 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
 * 2 boiled beetroots, peeled and cubed in 1/2 inch dice
 * 8 cold boiled potatoes, mashed
 * 3 large sweet pickled gherkins, sliced
 * 1/2 medium onion, peeled and finely chopped (about 1/3 to 1/2 cup)
 * mayonnaise
 * 2 hard-boiled eggs
 * sliced pickled gherkins
 * 1 tablespoon chopped parsley

Directions
Decorate an oblong dish with lettuce leaves. Peel, core and dice the apples. Mix immediately with the herring, add all other ingredients except the mayonnaise and garnish, and toss them together in the dressing. Spread the mixture evenly over the lettuce leaves, and cover generously with mayonnaise. Decorate with the garnish. For the garnish, chop the egg whites. Rub the yolks through a seive. Scatter both on the mayonnaise with the slices of gherkin and parsley.
