Salat Mimoza

Salat mimoza layers canned fish, potatoes, carrots, onion, and cheese beneath a blanket of mayonnaise, all crowned with a snowfall of grated egg yolk. Named for the mimosa flower’s yellow bloom, it is as pretty as it is comforting.

A festive salad in the same family as Olivier and herring under a fur coat, mimoza graces Russian holiday tables with its soft, savory layers. Chill it well before serving so it slices like a dream.
