Sprat salad
A quick, filling appetizer made with smoked sprats. I think of it as more of a man's salad, although I enjoyed it too. This makes a small salad for 2-3 people; increase the ingredients if you are feeding a larger group.

You only need a little mayonnaise for this salad. I spread it very thinly, without completely covering each layer.
Remove the sprats from the oil and mash with a fork. Place on a flat plate as the first layer. Grease with a thin layer of mayonnaise.
Chop the cucumbers with a knife and place on top of the sprats.
Separate the whites of the eggs from the yolks. Grate the whites on a coarse grater. Grease a little with mayonnaise. This is the next layer.
Grate the cheese on a fine grater. Place on whites.
Grate the carrots on a coarse grater. Add finely grated garlic and mayonnaise. Mix.
Place carrots with garlic and mayonnaise on cheese.
Top with finely grated egg yolks. Let the salad stand briefly so the layers absorb some of the dressing, then serve.
