Update! Under New Year 2018 I decided to make a video for you to make everything even more clear and understandable! I post all videos on your YouTube channel , there are a lot of other interesting things, so come in, look, subscribe, I'll wait!
Cooking Mimosa salad will take some time, so get ready for the process 🙂 Honestly, I'm not a fan of Soviet, Ukrainian and Russian cuisine by and large due to the fact that the cooking process usually takes an hour + infinity. Therefore, I prepare such dishes exclusively for the holidays or for your sake, because how can I leave my readers without their favorite New Year's dishes 🙂
However, very many do not understand me, they say that nothing is easier than, therefore, definitely to each his own. By the way, I even photographed the recipe for dumplings at my mom's house, because I was absolutely unable to perfect this sculpting process 😀 But back to the topic!
We will start cooking Mimosa by boiling the ingredients. We wash the potatoes, carrots and eggs, put them in a saucepan, bring to a boil, salt a little, reduce the heat and cook the eggs for 10 minutes, carrots - 15 minutes, and potatoes - 20. After the required time, we pierce the vegetables with a fork or knife, if they are soft inside, take out from boiling water. Cool and clean. You can peel first and then cook. Everything except eggs 🙂
At this time, peel the onions, chop very finely and pour boiling water for 10 or more minutes to get rid of excess bitterness. Mimosa salads can be different, but onions are always present in them as the main ingredient, so it is advisable to make it less bitter.
The most laborious thing begins - grating. Mimosa is a salad whose recipe tells us to divide all the ingredients into layers. Therefore, we rub carrots, potatoes, egg whites, cheese on a fine grater. We put everything on different plates. Knead the yolk with a fork, like canned fish. I do not advise trying to grate the yolk - it breaks down. I rubbed and kneaded everything in turn in order to wash less dishes in the end.
I want to say about fish again. You can make Mimosa salad with tuna, with pink salmon, with smoked squid, with anything "fishy"! I wanted to do it with tuna, but I took pink salmon simply because it was more profitable. And one more important point! Take fish in your own juice, not in oil, otherwise the salad will turn out to be very fatty!
Let's start laying out the layers. We start Mimosa fish salad with fish.
Lubricate the first layer with homemade Mayonnaise. I insist that you cook it, because it is incredibly easy to make it in 5 minutes, or even less, and it tastes a thousand times tastier than the purchased one and a million times healthier! Try it once and you won't regret it.
Put the egg whites in the second layer, grease with Mayonnaise, then put the carrots, salt a little. Recommend to use minimal amount Mayonnaise, otherwise the salad will be too greasy. As a result, it will turn out to be very colorful fish salad Mimosa, the ingredients are bright and pleasing to the eye already at this stage!
Lubricate the carrots with Mayonnaise, put a layer of onions on top, after draining the water, of course. It is not necessary to lubricate it. Mimosa fish salad is already rich in fats.
Lay out a layer of potatoes, add a little salt and again smear with Mayonnaise. I know that some people make this dish with rice, but I don't like salads with rice at all, so my salad is Mimosa with potatoes. I think it tastes much better this way.
Next layers: hard cheese, homemade mayonnaise, yolk. All! Mimosa salad with pink salmon, tuna, salmon, or saury is almost ready!
We cover it cling film and send it to the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, and preferably overnight. Now you know how to make Mimosa salad!
Mimosa fish salad is already very beautiful at this stage. But let's wait a little longer.
After insisting, we take out new Year's dish from the refrigerator. Now I will tell you how to decorate a Mimosa salad. To do this, finely chop your favorite greens and sprinkle on top. Many lay out some kind of figurines made of greenery, but I will definitely tell you that such decorations are echoes of the past. Although the salad is Soviet, we have been living for a long time not in the days of fifty years ago. Just sprinkle with herbs!
