Herring Salat (Ostfriesen Version) image

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!)
