  • You're probably sure that herring and meat don't belong together in one dish? I thought so too — until I tried this zesty Rasols salad with beef, potatoes, and herring. Latvians have a knack for surprising you by combining the seemingly incompatible. And since I love to surprise and delight people myself, I naturally added this recipe to my collection. First, boil the beef, let it cool, and dice it. Everything in this salad gets cut into small, even cubes. Use large potatoes; boil them in their skins, then peel and dice them once cooled. Pick a medium apple — tart is best — peel it and dice it. You'll also want medium-size pickled cucumbers, finely chopped. Now toss it all together, dress it with a mixture of sour cream and mustard, and pile it into a salad bowl. Scatter crumbled egg over the top. Slice the herring fillet thin and lay it over the eggs. Garnish with apple slices and fresh herbs, and serve. I think your guests will be surprised — and they'll definitely ask you for the recipe.
