Instructions

  1. Peel the beetroot and celery, cook until soft and cut into small cubes. Boil the potatoes and eggs, peel them off and also dice them. Cut the pickles, onions, apples and herring fillets into cubes.
  2. Mix a marinade from vinegar, oil, salt, sugar, pepper, a little mustard and mayonnaise and mix with the diced ingredients. Mix in the capers and let everything stand for at least 1 day.
  3. Tip: When using beetroot from the jar, do not add vinegar to the marinade, but rather some of the beetroot juice.

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
