Directions
Austria has a long-standing tradition called Heringsschmaus, which translates as ‘herring feast.’ This celebration takes place on Ash Wednesday (Aschermittwoch), marking the start of Lent. After the carnival season (Fasching), people in Austria gather to enjoy herring and a variety of fish delicacies. It is believed that these dishes help cleanse the body and prepare for fasting. Today, this tradition continues to be celebrated not only in restaurants and cafés but also in office cafeterias.
Heringsschmaus presents a variety of herring salads and appetizers, such as the Viennese classic white herring salad (Wiener Heringsschmaus) and the red herring salad (Roter Heringssalat) with beets, which we will be making today. The classic recipe typically uses sour cream for dressing, but we will use a mix of mayonnaise, soy (or almond) yogurt and red wine vinegar for our dressing. You can also dress it with yogurt only, adding 1 tsp of mustard for a bit of a kick.
