Mimosa salad is a dish that is used in everyday or festive kitchen... It is very simple and quick to prepare it. And if you know some of the subtleties and nuances, then the salad will turn out to be tender and melting in your mouth. This dish has appeared not so long ago. This happened in the 70s, when there was not a large assortment of products on store shelves. The Soviet people really liked it and they began to cook it on a par with herring under a fur coat and Olivier. And until now, this "three" recipes are very popular. For many, this is a recipe from childhood.

Let's go through the most delicious recipes step by step:

The secrets of cooking our "hero of the day":
1. It is better not to cook vegetables a little, than to digest them. Otherwise the salad will be like porridge
2. Boil the eggs for 10 minutes, then the yolk will turn yellow. Overcooked eggs have a gray color. It is better to take village eggs, they have a bright, beautiful yolk.
3. Lubricate the layers with mayonnaise, do not overdo it. No need to pour it, just miss it. It'll be enough. Especially if the salad is soaked properly
4. Buy high-quality and expensive canned food. And also from a good fish. Do not take sardines or herring in oil. Of course, they are cheaper, but the taste of the salad is not the same. Especially from herring, it tastes bitter.
Well, now I will share with you your favorite recipes for Mimosa salad.

The classic recipe for Mimosa salad with canned food

We need:

• Canned fish (saury, mackerel, salmon, pink salmon) - one can
• Boiled potatoes 4 tubers
• Boiled carrots 3 pieces
• Mayonnaise (fatty and tasty), herbs, salt to taste

Step-by-step cooking recipe (with photo report)

First, let's decide on the dishes. For everyday cuisine i use deep, transparent dishes... For the festive table - small portioned salad bowls, necessarily transparent, so that the layers of salad are visible. Or for a holiday, you can arrange a salad using a special form.

Cooking process:

You need to boil and cool vegetables and eggs. Boil the eggs in salted water with a medium boil for 10 minutes. It is better to cook potatoes and carrots without peeling, you can in one pan. Salt as usual, to taste. Please note that the potatoes are cooked first, the carrots are cooked at different times depending on the thickness of the root crop.

It is better to cook vegetables the day before or a few hours before cooking - so they cool well and will be easy to clean.

We open a can of canned food and wrinkle them with a fork, after draining the oil and pulling out the bones from the fish.

Finely chop the onion and scald with boiling water. So we get rid of the bitterness of the onion.

Be sure to fold it on a sieve so that the water is well glass.

We rub vegetables and protein on a fine or medium grater. The taste of the salad also depends on this. It is more convenient for me to rub the food directly into the salad bowl, but you can grate everything separately and then simply transfer it in layers.

I rub everything on fine grater- this is how the salad turns out to be tender and airy.

Now let's start shaping our layers.

Each will be coated with mayonnaise. The most convenient way to do this is to first pour the layer with thin streams of mayonnaise, then spread it with a silicone spatula or spoon. To easily pour mayonnaise in such a thin stream, just cut off the corner of the mayonnaise bag by 2-3 mm

For the formation of the salad, it is convenient to use any round shape without a bottom, you can even have a plastic container with a cut off bottom - so even on flat dish you get a beautiful flaky salad.

half boiled potatoes, grease with mayonnaise

a fish

onion

second half of potatoes

egg whites

egg yolks

And now we need to remove ready meal in the refrigerator for at least a couple of hours - so the salad will be saturated and will be even tastier. You can cook it on the eve of the holiday. But do not forget, salads with mayonnaise cannot be stored for a long time, even in the refrigerator.

If you are preparing a salad the night before, then it is better to sprinkle grated yolks in the morning, otherwise they will dry out.

We decorate the salad as your imagination allows you. You can use greens, boiled carrots, quail eggs, red or black caviar. You can make cute mice out of eggs or decorate with "sprigs of mimosa".

Salad preparation:

Drain the oil with the fish, select all the bones and knead it with a fork. Let's coat the layer with mayonnaise.

Rub the egg whites on a fine grater. Salt and coat with mayonnaise.

The next layer will be cheese grated on a medium grater. Lubricate a little with mayonnaise.

Mimosa salad with butter

There is one more interesting recipe preparing this famous dish- with butter. Of course, this is far from dietary option but for some he is a favorite.

Of all the varieties of festive dishes, salad snacks are the most popular in our country. Today we will cook mimosa salad with saury - a dish that has so firmly entered our traditional menu that without it it is difficult to imagine any feast. This one delicious salad there are many variations, but still the most successful is classic recipe, which we will consider in particular in detail.

Features of cooking mimosa from canned saury

If you have tried to make a mimosa salad on your own at least once, then you probably know that canned fish are traditionally used to make this salad snack. It is this ingredient that carries the most important flavoring accent, and therefore the success of the entire snack as a whole largely depends on its quality and aroma.

Tinned saury, in this regard, is one of the most best options... However, do not forget that other ingredients play an important role in the taste of the final treat.

• Most often, potatoes are not put into mimosa with saury at all - its taste somewhat drowns out the aroma of this fish. If, nevertheless, potatoes are included in the recipe, then they are boiled strictly without the peel.
• Butter, which is often found in mimosas, is not used in this type of salad. The fact is that canned saury already comes with oil, and an additional addition butter fat will make the salad too heavy.

• It is best to choose light mayonnaise, or make your own low-fat sauce. So you will reduce the calorie content of the dish and make it less harmful to the figure.
• If you have a need to concoct dietary mimosa with saury, then exclude mayonnaise, potatoes and most of the yolks from the recipe. Thus, the amount of carbohydrates in the salad will decrease, and, consequently, its calorie content.
• Onion for cold appetizer with saury it is best to use salad or red. These varieties of vegetables have almost no bitterness and have pleasant taste... If you use onions, then after cutting, soak them in boiling water for 10-15 minutes to get rid of the bitterness.

How to arrange the layers correctly when preparing the classic mimosa with saury

Many culinary experts believe that the most important moment in the preparation of any mimosa is the arrangement of its layers. In fact, this is not as important as it might seem at first glance.

Observance of the order of layers primarily affects the beauty of the salad, and not its taste.

However, there is an order that is considered to be classical.

• The first layer is almost always saury. It is pre-kneaded with a fork to achieve a more delicate and uniform consistency.
• Next, chopped onion is laid out.
• The next layer is usually grated egg whites.
• In the upper part, grated carrots are traditionally placed, and then potatoes.
• The very top of the salad is decorated with grated egg yolk.

Since grated boiled potatoes can hardly be called juicy, it is sometimes transferred to the very bottom of the salad. Top saury with vegetable oil moisturizes it, and therefore the dish as a whole turns out to be both tender and not very greasy.
