Pickled Herring and Cucumber Salad

Good Times, Good Food - Holidays and Events

It just so happens I like cucumber salad and pickled herring, so I decided to try this combination and the results are great. You can add your own seasoning to give it some zip, but I prefer just to leave it alone. The prep time and cook time are about the same.
