Swedish salad with herring - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use a different type of pickled fish instead of herring?

Yes, you can substitute with other pickled fish like rollmops or even smoked mackerel for a different flavor profile.

How long does Swedish herring salad last in the refrigerator?

This salad is best enjoyed fresh, but it can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Be aware that the dressing may become thinner over time.

Can I make this salad vegetarian?

To make it vegetarian, omit the herring and add more cooked beets or other root vegetables like carrots. You might also consider adding marinated tofu for a similar brined flavor.

What's the best way to prevent the beets from staining the other ingredients?

Adding a splash of vinegar or lemon juice to the beets after cutting them can help minimize staining. You can also prepare the beets separately and add them to the salad just before serving.

What are some good serving suggestions for Swedish herring salad?

This salad is great on its own, but it's also delicious served on rye bread, crispbread, or as a side dish with grilled meats or fish.

Can I adjust the sweetness of the dressing?

Absolutely! Adjust the amount of honey to your liking. You can also use other sweeteners like maple syrup or agave nectar.

Freezing this salad is not recommended as the sour cream-based dressing tends to separate and the vegetables can become mushy upon thawing. It's best to make it fresh.

You can substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt for a tangier, slightly lighter option. Alternatively, try crème fraîche for a richer flavor.
