Ingredients

1/2 pound pickled (soused) herring fillets ((German Bismarck herring or matjes herring), drained and diced small)
2 medium apples (, cored and diced small)
1/3 pound cooked red beets (, diced small)
1 medium yellow or red onion (, diced small)
4-5 German pickles
For the Creamy Dressing:
2-3 tablespoons pickle juice from the German pickles

1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon German yellow mustard
1 cup sour cream
1/4-1/3 cup heavy whipping cream

Steps:

In a small bowl, whisk together the pickle juice, mustard, oil, vinegar, salt and sugar until emulsified and the salt and sugar are dissolved. Stir in the whipping cream, sour cream, mayonnaise, mustard and dill.
Place the diced herring, apples, beets, onions, and pickles in a large bowl.Pour the dressing over the herring mixture and carefully stir until thoroughly combined. Add salt and pepper to taste. If the salad is thicker than you prefer, add a little whipping cream. If you prefer the dressing thicker, add more sour cream and/or mayonnaise.
To serve, lay some slices of boiled egg over a mound of herring salad with a sprig of fresh dill. You can also add some onions sliced into rings. Place the potatoes next to the salad. Alternatively, spread the herring salad on crusty bread.Can serve 4 as a side or main dish or more people as an hors d'oeuvres.

Use this spread on small slices of rye bread and garnish attractively. Some cooks add a finely grated apple to the mixture for a milder flavor.
