About

This colourful salad reminds me of the time I spent in Sweden as it is fairly typical of something you would eat for breakfast there. I was staying in the Grand Hotel in Lund and remember so well the breakfast table laden with smoked, marinated and pickled fish. It was amazing! My version features warm potatoes and fresh coriander (cilantro) with a French yogurt dressing. You could use some of the pickling liquid instead of the French dressing, if you like.
