It is a tradition in our family to eat Heering Salad and Cruller on new years eve . Herring Salad should ensure that you will always have money in your pocket and Cruller will keep you healthy in the new year.
This tradition was very important for my mother in law and she fed us over years with plenty of both which she bought. Later I began to prepare the salad and the cruller myself. Both fresh made is much more delicious than ready made bought.
Today I will give you the recipe for the Herring Salad and I wish you a Happy New Year with plenty of money in your purse.
By the way: Of course you can eat this salad through the whole year as well.
