Mimoza Salad

This is a great salad for any party, and takes only few ingredients. In Russia, it became almost a tradition to see this kind of salad on any special occasion. If you enjoy smoky taste, you can always substitute Pink Salmon for Smoked Sprats. Using your creativity, you can decorate this salad with parsley, dill, pomegranate seeds, olives, etc. 

Ingredients:o

3 potatoes

6-7 eggs

15 oz canned Pink Salmon (you can use Smoked Sprats, it will add that nice smoking taste if you like it)

1/3 onion

Mayonnaise

3-4 carrots (optional)

Can of Large Olives for decoration

Process:

1. In a pot, boil whole potatoes and carrots until smooth when pierced with a knife. Don't overcook. Let those cool to the room temp.

2. In a separate pot of salted cold water, place 6-7 eggs and bring them to boil. Let the eggs boil for 15 minutes. Cool to the room temperature. Peel the eggs. 

3. Shred the potato evenly to the bottom of a large dish. 

4. Spread Mayonnaise evenly over the potato layer.

5. Sprinkle chopped onion.
