Karrysalat
- 1 each cucumbers small, peeled and halved lengthwise about 4 inch
- 18 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup pasta, elbow macaroni uncooked
- 1 each herring pickled or matjes
- 2 each mushrooms raw, thin sliced
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 18 teaspoon white pepper
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 1/2 teaspoons curry powder
- Scrape out and discard the seeds from the halved cucumber with a teaspoon and slice the halves into 1/2 inch cubes.
- Place these cubes in a small bowl and sprinkle with salt to draw out their excess moisture.
- Let the cubes stand 15 minutes, then drain and pat them dry with paper towels.
- Cook the macaroni in rapidly boiling salted water for 20 minutes, following the directions on the package.
- Meanwhile, wash the herring fillets in cold water, pat them dry with paper towels and cut them into 1 1/2 inch lengths.
- Drain the cooked macaroni in a colander, run cold water over it to cool it, then spread out on paper towels to get rid of any excess moisture.
- Place the cut-up herring in a salad bowl along with the cucumber, macaroni and sliced raw mushrooms.
- In a separate bowl, beat together the vinegar, olive oil, salt and pepper with a small wire whisk and pour this mixture over the ingredients in the salad bowl.
- With 2 wooden spoons, mix the salad thoroughly but gently.
- Refrigerate the salad for 1 to 2 hours before serving.
- DRESSING: For a richer dressing, preferred by the Danes, whip the mayonnaise, sour cream and curry powder together in a small bowl and add to the salad just before serving.
