Mimosa Salad with Salmon and Butter
8 servings
90 minutes
Salad 'Mimosa' with salmon and butter is a classic dish of Russian cuisine, known for its tenderness and exquisite taste. It got its name from the final layer of grated egg yolks resembling spring mimosa flowers. This version uses canned salmon, which gives the dish a rich fish flavor that harmonizes with the creaminess of butter and the spiciness of onion. The layered structure makes the salad extraordinarily airy, while the combination of cheese, eggs, and mayonnaise is rich and balanced. This salad is often served on festive tables as it looks impressive and has a rich flavor that many enjoy. It pairs excellently with black bread and white wine.
