Mimosa salad
6 servings
60 minutes
Mimosa salad is a bright symbol of home comfort and festive tables. It got its name due to its resemblance to delicate mimosa flowers, and the recipe's roots go back to Soviet times when layered salads became a decoration for any feast. Its base is canned fish that gives the dish a rich flavor, while layers of potatoes, carrots, and eggs create a tender texture. The light spiciness of onions highlights the softness of the main ingredients, and mayonnaise unites them into a harmonious ensemble. Mimosa salad is ideal for festive events: it not only pleases the eye but also delights with its rich taste. Before serving, it should be allowed to rest in the refrigerator so that the layers soak and become even juicier.
