Estonian Herring and Potato Salad
For the salad:
- 1 salted herring filet (schmaltz style)
- 2 red-skinned potatoes, boiled and cut into 1/2-inch dice
- 3 canned beets, cut into 1/2-inch dice
- 1/3 cup minced onions
- 1 large tart apple, cored and cut into 1/2 inch dice
- 1/2 cup diced dill pickles
- 2 hard-cooked eggs, chopped
- 1 cup diced cooked ham or veal
For the dressing and garnish:
- 1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
- 1 teaspoon dry mustard
- 1 1/2 tablespoons cider vinegar
- 1 1/3 cups sour cream
- 1 teaspoon prepared red horseradish, drained
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar, or more to taste
- Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
- 1 hard-boiled egg, for garnish
Soak the herring filet in cold water, covered, overnight. Rinse well, pat dry, and cut into half-inch cubes. Place in a large bowl and combine with the potatoes, onion, beets, apple, chopped eggs, pickles, and meats.
In a small bowl, whisk the mustards with the vinegar until smooth. Stir in the remaining dressing ingredients (through the salt and pepper) and blend well.
Add the dressing to the salad: toss. Transfer to a serving bowl. Serve garnished with sliced egg.
