The Mimosa salad appeared in the 70s in the Soviet Union, and has since become one of the main decorations of the holiday table. It is traditionally prepared using canned fish, most often pink salmon. It is laid out together with other ingredients, such as potatoes, eggs, and mayonnaise. The salad is usually decorated with chopped egg yolk and greens on top.
