Heringsalat, German Herring Salad

( 2-3 servings)

While I was at the German deli getting stuff for the meat salad, I saw some pickled herring and decided to make some herring salad as well. There are different versions of it. I prefer the one which includes beets because I love them, and the way they colour this salad.

1 cup pickled herring, drained and cut into 1/2" pieces
1 red beet, roasted and chopped or 1/3-1/2 cup chopped pickled beets
1/4 cup red onion, chopped
1 dill pickle, chopped
1/2 granny smith apple, chopped
1 tbsp capers
1 hard boiled egg, chopped
2 tbsp sour cream
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Combine all of the ingredients thoroughly in a bowl. Serve with bread, rolls or crackers.
