Pic1: as simple as it gets
Pic2:
herring, onions, potatoes, apples, mayoDirections
- Drain the herring and even push on the herring to remove as much liquid as possible.
- Spread mayo on both slices of toasted bread.
- Place the herring on top of one. (Pic1)
- Place the other one on top of the herring.
- Enjoy.
Pic3-5: mayo, herring, mix
Use a different method if a larger amount of herring mayo salad is needed:
- Drain the jar of pickled herring and even push on it to remove as much liquid as possible.
-
Optionally remove the onions.
This is not required. It tastes good with the onions too. - Transfer to a small mixing bowl.
- Add mayonnaise to taste. Mix thoroughly.
-
Optional:
- Add diced potatoes and/or sliced/chopped hard-boiled eggs.
rolmops in mayonnaise
Pic6: sour rolmops Pic7: rolmops in dressing
- The dressing (Pic7) in this canned product is different from regular commercial mayonnaise, formulated to remain firm with the higher acidity of pickled herring.
- I liked this back in Belgium, preferred it over the sour rolmops.
I have not been able to find it here in the US.
