How to cook Mimosa Salad?
Mimosa Salad is a traditional multi-layered Russian salad. This is an easy-to-prepare salad since 1970 in the USSR. It is called a “Mimosa” because of the similarity in color with mimosa flowers. Traditionally, canned fish such as pink salmon, saury, sardine are used. Salad is usually made for the holidays. Each Russian hostess changes the arrangement of the salad layers at her discretion and adds different ingredients.
