1. In a small bowl, combine the dry mustard with ¼ teaspoon of the sugar and stir in 1 to 2 tablespoons of warm water, or enough to make a thick paste.

SALAD:
|
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the finely chopped eggs, diced beets, potatoes, pickles, herring, meat and apple.

2. Add the sour cream dressing and toss together lightly but thoroughly until all the ingredients are well moistened with the dressing.
