Herring Salat Ostfriesen Version

---

My mom made this salad every year for new year's eve. It's of north german origin. Our german and scandinavian friends all loved it. Do not substitute ham for the left-over meat, it's too salty or something! My family doesn't like herring, so i use less than what is listed - just enough so i can still call it herring salat! other ingredient amounts can be adjusted to taste. It should be a pretty pink color when done. (my friends thought it was called herrings-a-lot, because of the way it's pronounced in german!)!
