Mimosa salad

Salads

Mimosa salad is a festive Russian layered salad whose main ingredients are cheese, hard boiled eggs, canned fish, onion and mayonnaise. It takes its name from its resemblance to mimosa flowers on snow, an effect created by crumbling boiled egg yolk over the top layer. The dish became popular in the Soviet Union and remains widely eaten across post-Soviet countries, typically served as a zakuski, a Russian style appetizer, with many regional recipe variations.
