Herring salad with golden beet

In a sense this could be a Thai recipe, combining salt (herring) with sweet (mayo, beetroot) and sour (gurkins, capers). 

Basic ingredients are equal parts of boiled potato and yellow beetroot, in 5x5 mm dices. The dressing is made from mayonaise and horse radish.

 

Add half a red onion, spoonful of capers and finely cut gurkin or cornichons. Spoonfull of dill. 

Mix and taste, leave in the fridge for at least a couple of hours. Taste again, now you can always add more of one of the ingredients. 

I like to have the raw, salted herring on top, but others might mix the herring with the salad.

Finish with some caviar?
