Step-by-step instant noodle salad recipes

With the first salad based on instant noodles, I got acquainted about two decades ago. Scrolling through the weekly newspaper, one of the headings of which was recipes, I saw an unusual and quite attractive dish with the very popular at that time Mivina noodles. The dish seemed interesting to me, and in the evening we were able to enjoy the wonderful taste of the salad. I am not a fan of such dishes, but I cook them periodically for a change.
