Herring under a fur coat is a traditional New Year's salad consisting of layers of fish, potatoes, carrots and onions.
Mayonnaise is usually used as an intermediate layer.
However, when creating a dish, you can (and even should) do without this white sauce.
The salad will be much more appetizing and less harmful if you replace the high-calorie mayonnaise with something.
This advice to gourmets was given by the expert of the online publication Belnovosti in the field of cooking, chef, fourth-class baker Yulia Arkhipova.
What to replace mayonnaise with in herring under a fur coat
As an alternative sauce, you should use sour cream and mustard.
Simply mix the fermented milk product with the spicy paste.
Decide on the ratio of ingredients yourself. If you want to get the most delicate sauce without excessive spiciness, use a minimum of mustard.
But if you like it spicy, add more seasoning.
The sour cream and mustard mixture goes well with herring and vegetables much better than the boring mayonnaise.
You and your family members will positively evaluate the taste that has appeared. Your guests will certainly be delighted too. Be prepared for the following questions: “Why did the salad turn out so appetizing?”, “What’s the secret?”, “Will you share the recipe?”
In addition, avoiding store-bought sauce will make the dish less caloric and more healthy.
