Salad 'Mimosa' with cheese is a delicate and airy dish embodying the traditions of Russian cuisine. Its roots go back to the Soviet past when housewives sought simple yet elegant recipes for festive tables. The salad's name is linked to its resemblance to mimosa flowers: the layers of ingredients create an effect of fluffiness and brightness. The taste of 'Mimosa' is soft and creamy, with a slight sharpness from onions and freshness from apples. Each spoonful melts in your mouth, revealing a blend of cheese, eggs, sour cream, and mayonnaise seasoned with aromatic green notes. This salad is perfect for celebrations, especially in spring when you want to add a bit of sunny mood to the table.
