Salad 'Mimosa' with cheese is an elegant dish of Russian cuisine that captivates with its delicate texture and harmonious taste. Named after a bright spring flower, it delights the eye with its airy layered presentation, while the soft cheese adds depth to the flavor. The classic 'Mimosa' has been known since Soviet times as a symbol of festive gatherings. In this version, salted pink salmon, boiled potatoes, sweet carrots, spicy onions, and airy egg whites create a perfect balance, while cheese adds a special creaminess. The finishing touch is the crumbly egg yolk resembling blooming mimosa. This dish not only pleases the palate but also evokes nostalgia for home celebrations. It should be allowed to rest before serving to reveal all shades of its flavor palette.
