For this snack you need only 3 main ingredients and mayonnaise. But thanks to the shape, crushed greens and pomegranate seeds, the snack turns into a real festive dish that is prepared in a matter of minutes. The main advantage of this dish is its affordability. Potatoes, eggs and mayonnaise are in almost every refrigerator. Just buy a herring - and a wonderful snack is almost ready.
Herring can be replaced with other lightly salted fish. It will be very tasty with red fish.
I have seen variants in which, in addition to the above ingredients, you can add processed cheese (such as Friendship, Amber). You can also use regular cheese instead of processed cheese.
