Herring Salad with Potatoes and Apples (Shellfish-Free Alternative)

Ingredients

• 1 lb Potatoes
• 2 medium Apples
• 8 oz Pickled herring substitute (e.g., marinated tofu)
• 1/4 cup Red onion
• 1/2 cup Sour cream
• 1/4 cup Mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons Dill
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon Salt
• 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper

Instructions

1. 1Place the 1 lb Potatoes in a large heavy-bottomed pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork. Drain the potatoes and let them cool completely. Once cooled, cut the potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes.
2. 2While the potatoes are cooling, cut the 2 medium Apples into 1/2-inch cubes and finely dice the 1/4 cup Red onion.
3. 3Drain the 8 oz Pickled herring substitute (e.g., marinated tofu) and cut it into 1/2-inch cubes.
4. 4In a medium bowl, whisk together the 1/2 cup Sour cream, 1/4 cup Mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons Dill, 1 tablespoon Lemon juice, 1 teaspoon Sugar, 1/4 teaspoon Salt, and 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper until smooth.
5. 5In a large bowl, combine the cooled 1/2-inch cubes of potatoes, the 1/2-inch cubes of apples, the diced red onion, and the 1/2-inch cubes of pickled herring substitute.
6. 6Pour the dressing mixture over the ingredients in the large bowl and toss gently until everything is evenly coated.
7. 7Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. This chilling step is important for the salad to taste its best.
8. 8Serve the Herring Salad with Potatoes and Apples chilled.
