Ingredients:
- Potatoes: 1 pound, peeled and diced
- Beets: 1 pound, peeled and diced
- Pickled Herring: 1 can, drained and cut into small pieces
- Dill Pickles: 3, diced
- Onion: 1 medium, finely chopped
- Sour Cream: 1 cup
- Salt and Pepper: To taste
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Herring: Begin by cutting the pickled herring into small, bite-sized pieces. This will ensure that the herring is evenly distributed throughout the salad, giving each bite a burst of flavor.
-
Combine the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the herring pieces with the diced dill pickles and finely chopped onions. Add the sour cream and mix well. Season with salt and pepper according to your taste preference.
-
Incorporate the Vegetables: Gently fold in the diced potatoes and beets. Be careful not to overmix, as you want to preserve the texture of the vegetables and avoid mashing them.
-
Chill: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the salad for at least 4 hours. This resting time allows the flavors to meld together beautifully, enhancing the overall taste of the dish.
-
Adjust Consistency: If you find that the sour cream has thickened too much during refrigeration, you can thin it out with a bit of the liquid from the pickled herring. Be cautious not to add too much liquid; just enough to achieve your desired consistency.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once chilled, give the salad a final gentle stir and serve it alongside thinly sliced black bread and steamed potatoes for a complete and satisfying meal.
