Steps:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the finely chopped herring, optional meat, potatoes, beets, apple, onion and pickle. Mix 3 tablespoons of the dill with the vinegar, add salt and pepper to taste.

Pour over the salad, mix lightly but thoroughly, cover and chill for at least 2 hours. Just before serving, transfer the salad to a large serving bowl or platter and sprinkle it with the minced egg whites and remaining chopped dill. SAUCE: Stir the beet and lemon juice into the sour cream until it is smooth and well blended. Pass this sauce separately.

HERINGSTOPF MIT SAURER SAHNE (HERRING SALAD WITH SOUR CREAM)
I grew up in North-Rhine Westphalia, in Germany, where this is eaten quite regularly. I adopted this recipe from Recipezaar as it didn't have a home and I thought it'd be nice to actually make this recipe, also known as Herringsstip, as I usually just buy it ready made. I'll update once I've made it, but if you make it before me, please let me know what you think!

Steps:
- Sauce:
- Blend thoroughly sour cream, yogurt, lemon juice and sugar.
- Salad:
- Peel onions and cut into thin slices.
- Peel and quarter apples, remove cores and cut into thin wedges.
- Blend onions and apples with sauce.
- In a dish arrange herring and apple-onion mixture in layers.
- Cover tightly and marinate in refrigerator for 5 hours.
- Sprinkle with dill before serving.
Tips:
- Use high-quality herring fillets. Look for fillets that are firm and have a silvery-gray color.
- Soak the herring fillets in milk for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will help to remove any excess salt and make the fillets more tender.
- Cook the herring fillets gently. Overcooking will make them tough.
- Use a variety of vegetables in your sill salad. Some good options include potatoes, carrots, beets, and celery.
- Be sure to use fresh dill in your sour cream dressing. Dried dill will not have the same flavor.
- Serve sill salad chilled. It is a great dish to make ahead of time.
Conclusion:
Sill salad is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, main course, or side dish. It is a great way to use up leftover herring fillets, and it is also a good source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids. If you are looking for a new and exciting way to enjoy herring, give sill salad a try. You won't be disappointed!
