40 minutes
Salad 'Mimosa' with potatoes and sardines is a delicate and hearty dish loved in many families. Its history goes back to the Soviet past when layered salads became popular due to the availability of ingredients. The name 'Mimosa' comes from its bright yellow top layer resembling a spring flower. The taste of this salad is harmonious: the softness of potatoes, juiciness of carrots, spiciness of onions, and richness of canned sardines create a magnificent combination. The layers soaked in mayonnaise make it especially tender. The salad is perfect for festive tables, either as a standalone dish or an addition to main treats. Its airy texture and appetizing appearance make 'Mimosa' a favorite among traditional home recipes.
