Cooking tips

Let the salad sit in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. You can leave it overnight.

Use a good quality mayonnaise and add some fresh herbs, such as dill or green onions, for a brighter flavor.

Any other fish can be used instead of lightly salted herring.

Serve the salad in a pretty bowl or simply in a salad bowl, garnished with fresh herbs. This dish is perfect for any celebration.

Make it easy: All the vegetables and eggs can be prepared in advance. For quick serving, use tartlets or bowls so each guest gets a serving of salad.
