This salad is, in fact, a hybrid from two famous Russian salads: Mimosa Salad and Shuba Salad.
I must say I love Russian salads. All of them.
In the classic Mimosa Salad recipe I use smoked mackerel instead of canned fish.
Due to grated technique used for all ingredients, this spectacular salad is pretty easy to make.

- After those 20 minutes, add the carrots and let them boil together until the carrots are tender. Drain and let them cool.
- The eggs should be hard-boiled . So boil them for 7 minutes and set aside in ice cold water.
