Herring salad

 

Fig salad

  • 200 GRAM GREEN LETTUCE, torn to pieces
  • 2 APPLES, peeled and cut
  • 4 HERRINGS, cut in chunks
  • 2 RED BEETROOTS, cooked, peeled and cubed
  • 2 GHERKINS, cut
  • 2 EGGS, boiled 10 minutes, peeled and chopped
  • 2 TBSP VINEGAR
  • 1 SMALL ONION, chopped
  • 3 TBSP OIL
 
  • 6 FIGS
  • 200 GRAM PARMA HAM
  • 1 BOLL MOZZARELLA, sliced
  • 3 TBSP LEMON JUICE
  • 1 TBSP HONEY
  • 3 TBSP OLIVE OIL
  • SALT AND FRESH MILLED PEPPER

Put some lettuce on a large plate. Mix the rest of the lettuce with the other ingredients and put this mixture on top of the lettuce. Decorate with a slice of egg.

The Worldcook website has another delicious recipe to use herring: herring in tomato sauce.

Cut the figs in 4 but leave them together at the bottom. Arrange the figs, mozzarella and Parma ham on 4 plates. For the dressing, whisk the lemon juice with the honey and the olive oil and pour over the salad. Sprinkle with pepper and salt.

This beautiful salad was prepared for us by Emelie, and she was inspired by Jamie Olivier's "Sexy fig salad".
