PICKLED HERRING AND CUCUMBER SALAD



Pickled Herring and Cucumber Salad image

It just so happens I like cucumber salad and pickled herring, so I decided to try this combination and the results are great. You can add your own seasoning to give it some zip, but I prefer just to leave it alone. The prep time and cook time are about the same.

Time P3DT5m

Yield 4 cups, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 (12 ounce) jars marinated herring fillets
3/4 cup carrot (crinkle-cut frozen)
2 small red onions
2 teaspoons whole allspice
2 teaspoons whole yellow mustard seeds
6 -9 sprigs fresh dill
3/4 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup granulated sugar

Steps:

  • You will need a glass jar that will hold one quart, must have a cover!
  • Bring the vinegar, water and sugar to a boil in a saucepan, stirring constantly until the sugar is dissolved. Take the saucepan off the heat and set the liquid aside to cool to room temperature.
  • Open the jars of herring and drain them in a strainer. Pick out the herring fillets, rinse them in cold water, and throw everything else away.
  • Cook the carrots according to the package instructions, but make sure they're still firm and not soft.
  • Peel the red onions and cut them into thin slices.
  • Arrange one-fourth of the onions in a thin layer in the bottom of the 1-quart glass jar. Top them with a third of the herring. Top the herring with a third of the carrots. Place 2 or 3 dill springs on the top and scatter on a third of the allspice and a third of the mustard seeds. Repeat the sequence until all the ingredients have been used, ending with a top layer of onions.
  • Pour the cooled pickling liquid into the jar. It should just cover the contents. If there's not enough pickling liquid, top off the jar with a little white vinegar right out of the bottle.
  • Place the cover on the jar.
  • Refrigerate the herring for 3 days before serving.
