Mimosa Salad (Layered Fish Salad)

Posted on January 5, 2010

This salad is very popular in Russia, especially for winter holidays. For years Mimosa salad has been considered to be a must on the table when they have a big family event or a New Year celebration. The salad is made with mayonnaise but the taste is very tender and light. For this salad, it is better to use a deep glass bowl, so you can see all the layers of the salad. Give it a try, it is very delicious!!!
