Salad with sprats and green onions
Origin of the recipe
Sprat and green onion salad is a popular dish in post-Soviet countries. Its roots can be traced to the Soviet era, when canned goods like sprats became affordable and popular. Sprats, typically made from fish (most often Baltic herring), were often used in appetizers and salads. Sprat salads were often prepared for holidays and family gatherings because they were easy to prepare and didn't require much time. Green onions added freshness and aroma, enhancing the flavor of the fish.

Cooking tips
Mayonnaise should be added gradually. Its quantity affects the consistency and overall flavor, so add as much as you like.
If you can't taste the sprats in the salad, add more. If you can only taste them, add other ingredients. This depends not only on the quantity of sprats but also on their variety.
