Classic Mimosa salad with potatoes and canned food

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make a classic Mimosa salad with potatoes and canned food? Prepare the necessary products. Any canned food is suitable: sardine, saury, mackerel, both in oil and in its own juice.

2. STEP 2

   

   First boil the potatoes and carrots in boiling water until tender. Check the readiness of the vegetables with a knife. If the knife pierces the vegetable freely, it is ready. Remove the boiled vegetables from the water and cool completely. Peel the potatoes and grate them on a coarse grater.

3. STEP 3

   

   Also peel and chop the carrots on a medium or fine grater.

4. STEP 4

   

   Place the canned fish in a suitable sized bowl. Mash the fish with a fork. I have a can of my own juice. At the same time, I add liquid to the fish, and the salad turns out more juicy. If desired, the liquid can be omitted.

5. STEP 5

   

   You can take the cheese you like best: hard, semi-hard or processed. Grate the cheese on a fine grater.

6. STEP 6

   

   Boil the eggs hard. How to hard boil eggs? Pour water over the eggs and bring to a boil. Cook the eggs over moderate heat for 7-8 minutes from the moment they boil. Place boiled eggs in cold water to cool. Temperature changes will make the eggshells easier to clean. Peel the cooled eggs, separate the whites from the yolks. Grind the whites on a fine grater.

7. STEP 7

   

   The salad can be assembled in a serving ring. Place it on a plate. Place the grated potatoes in the first layer and smooth it out. If necessary, this layer can be slightly salted.

8. STEP 8

   

   Lubricate the potato layer with mayonnaise on top.

9. STEP 9

   

   Then add grated carrots. Smooth out the layer of carrots with a spoon. Top with mayonnaise.

10. STEP 10

    

    The next layer is grated cheese. And again mayonnaise.

11. STEP 11

    

    Lay out the canned fish and smooth it out.

12. STEP 12

    

    Lubricate the fish layer with a little mayonnaise.

13. STEP 13

    

    Grate the egg yolks on a fine grater over the canned food. Leave a few yolks to decorate the salad on top.

14. STEP 14

    

    Place the last layer evenly with egg whites. Spread mayonnaise on top of the salad. Place the salad in the refrigerator for 2 hours to soak.

15. STEP 15

    

    Wash the dill, dry well, chop finely.

16. STEP 16

    

    Before serving, decorate the top of the salad as desired and to your taste, using chopped herbs and the remaining egg yolks, grated on a fine grater. Bon appetit!

Very tasty salad. Quick to prepare and simple. But this does not affect the taste. I also added a little leek to it in the layer where the fish is. Thanks for the recipe.

Many thanks to the author for the beautiful and tasty salad! Mimosa salad is one of my favorite and most delicious dishes. With the permission of the author, I added a little basil around the edge. In general, I have three types of fish there :) It turned out that there was a lot of everything and so that this much did not go to waste, I had to make a large dish. But the fish were a little different, so there was a sardine on the left, tuna on the right, and lightly salted trout in the middle))) Well, I made the mayonnaise myself) My relatives told me to try it myself first, and after 2 hours they would join in)) For the rest, salad exactly according to the author’s recipe)

Quite tasty. I often cook at home. Then I add butter to soften it. (take cold butter and 50 - 100 grams). I added it to the cookbook, now I’ll cook it much more often, it’s a good reminder of my favorite recipes.

A true classic in cooking! My son's favorite salad, along with Olivier. This salad became popular back in the 70s for its ease of preparation, excellent taste and affordable ingredients. There are many options for preparing this salad, this one is one of the most successful.

Good afternoon! What ring diameter did you use? And how is the dill placed on the sides so that it doesn’t even crumble?
