90 minutes
Mimosa salad is a delicate and airy dish that emerged in the Soviet era and won gourmets' hearts with its refined taste and elegant presentation. Named after the spring flower, it delights the eye with a golden layer of grated yolk resembling fluffy mimosa clusters. The combination of soft potatoes, sweet carrots, tender fish layer from canned pink salmon, and spicy onions creates a harmony of flavors, while mayonnaise layers give the dish a creamy texture. This salad is traditionally served at festive tables, symbolizing warmth, coziness, and home hospitality.
