Mimosa is one of our favorite salads. But they have never made it with smoked mackerel. And then, by the way, they accumulated fish, ate it in its purest form, and began to think that they could do something else delicious with it. And, of course, the answer to our question was immediately found on Khrumka. It was also unusual for me to mix grated yolks with cheese and mayonnaise. Previously, we simply laid out these ingredients in layers. I really enjoyed making this layer. Live and learn. I also lightly pickled the onions. The salad turned out to have a completely unusual taste. Exquisite and unique. Today I made it for a regular dinner, but I’m sure that if such a dish is presented at the holiday table, it will become the highlight of the program. We thank the author of the recipe for a fresh take on an old favorite salad.
