Mimosa salad - 16 cooking recipes

Born in times of food shortages, Mimosa was at first associated with treats worthy of a royal table. In the 70s of the last century, it was regarded as something exotic, piquant and special.

Mimosa salad

Today she won’t surprise anyone. The housewife can cook it on any day of the year, and not just on New Year. Fortunately, the ingredients are affordable, and the recipe does not require much effort, knowledge or skills. What makes the dish attractive? Appearance is a business card. It cannot be confused with any other dish - first of all, it looks interesting due to the top layer consisting of yolks. From the outside, the composition resembles a flower, and if you decorate it with sprigs of greenery, the similarity will become even more noticeable. The relatively low calorie content - only 183 kcal per 100 grams - is another advantage of this dish. For comparison: the energy value of Caesar is 130 units higher. Fish completes the picture. Under the outer layer of carrots, onions and grated eggs, behind the mask of a “dietary” culinary masterpiece, there is a fragrant gift of the sea. It imbues every piece with juice and flavor, so the salad, by definition, cannot turn out dry. It will definitely appeal to seafood lovers. But for those who suffer from egg intolerance, it is better to abstain from the treat. Although, non-classical Mimosa salad recipes lift this ban.
