The classic recipe for "Mimosa", in addition to fish, includes only two types of boiled vegetables: potatoes and carrots.

Making the classic Mimosa salad

  • Step 1

    Boil jacket potatoes, carrots and eggs until tender. When the vegetables and eggs have cooled, peel them.

  • Step 2

    Cut the onion into small cubes. Fill with cold boiled water, add a tablespoon of vinegar and leave to marinate.

    Step 3

    We open the canned fish and put it on a plate. Remove the bones and grind the fish with a fork. If there is too much oil and fish stock, you can drain off some to prevent the fish puree from becoming too runny.

    Step 4

    Cut the potatoes into small cubes or three on a grater. We put it in a deep plate in the first layer. We coat with mayonnaise, salt and pepper. Mimosa salad has a layered structure. If you would like to serve it flat on a plate, you can use the split cooker.

    Step 5

    Put canned fish on top of the potatoes. In some recipes, the fish is placed in the first layer, but then it can drain. Better to spread the sardine or saury on the potatoes. The potatoes will absorb the oil and juice, and the salad will turn out to be more delicious and beautiful.

    Step 6

    Drain the water from the onion and squeeze it thoroughly. Spread on top of the fish and coat with a little mayonnaise. You do not need to salt, because the fish is usually quite salty.

    Step 7

    We take boiled eggs and separate the whites from the yolks. We rub them separately from each other on a grater. We spread the next layer of protein, grease with mayonnaise, salt and pepper.

    Step 8

    We also grate boiled carrots. We spread it in the next layer, grease with mayonnaise and lightly add some salt.

    Step 9

    Sprinkle the salad with grated egg yolks. Decorate with herbs if desired. At this point, our salad is ready, but before serving it is better to leave it in a cold place for a couple of hours. When Mimosa is soaked, you can serve it to the table and enjoy an unusually delicate and pleasant taste.

The salad with the floral name "Mimosa" occupies a leading position among the favorite salads of our housewives. It mainly serves as a decoration for the festive table and is prepared not only in everyday life, but also on special days.

This salad appeared in the 60-70s of the last century.

Its popularity can be attributed to the availability and cheapness of the products from which it is prepared.

After all, whatever the times, difficult or full of abundance of food, our people love to eat tasty and satisfying food and surprise guests at the feast with their culinary talents.

You don't need to be a chef to make it, but like any other dish, Mimosa salad has some subtleties and nuances that need to be taken into account when preparing it.

The salad consists of layers that need to be coated with mayonnaise, except for the last - the top one. For this purpose, you need to use only mayonnaise with high fat content, thick, otherwise the "Mimosa" salad will lose its taste. Diet mayonnaise is contraindicated in this case.

Of course, it is better to choose mayonnaise, close to natural, without any E-shny additives. This tip also applies to dishes other than salads. Their taste directly depends on the products from which it is prepared.

Homemade mayonnaise cannot be compared to store-bought mayonnaise. Its preparation will not take much time and will not hit the pocket, and the taste of the dish cooked with it is soft, pleasant, and reveals all the flavor notes.

All homemade mayonnaises are made from available products: eggs, vegetable oil, lemon juice (can be replaced with a pinch citric acid or vinegar), spices, you can add mustard, garlic and other ingredients. With a mixer, or better with a blender, mix everything until smooth - and you can start preparing your favorite salads.

Products that make up any Mimosa salad:

  • one can of canned fish (for this, canned mackerel is mainly taken);
  • boiled potatoes - 4 pcs.;
  • boiled carrots - 3 pcs.;
  • hard-boiled eggs - 5 pcs.;
  • one head of onion is enough (onion or red, it is better to marinate it in vinegar + salt + sugar);
  • mayonnaise;
  • spices (salt, pepper);
  • greens (green onions, dill, parsley).

By the way, these products make up the classic "Mimosa" salad. Others may be added to these ingredients, depending on the recipe.

An important point in cooking is the preparation of food for him. All vegetables, eggs and other ingredients should only be grated on a fine grater.


Otherwise, the taste of "Mimosa" salad will not be so bright and rich, small pieces reveal the whole range of tastes. In addition, for some people large chunks are not only unusual, they are unacceptable.

One of the important factors in the preparation of Mimosa salad is the correct alternation of its layers. Recipes with fish as the first layer are not entirely correct.

These recipes are suitable for those who want to make the whole process faster and easier, forgetting about the taste. In addition, the fish may leak a little (if you used canned soup dishonestly).

So, let's take the "Mimosa" salad, a classic recipe with step-by-step photos of preparation. For the first layer, you need to lay the grated potatoes, not pressing it, but making it seem airy. You do not need to use all the potatoes, you will still need it - only a part of it, so that the fish does not lie on the salad bowl.

The fish is laid in the second layer. She needs special attention. In the case of canned food, it is necessary to drain the oil soup, remove all the bones from the fish and mash the remaining pulp with a fork (it is better to do this in a separate bowl).

Someone prefers to marinate it in advance, some simply scald it with boiling water. In any case, before that, it must be finely chopped, and then pour a little canned oil on the layer (if any).

Spread the remaining chopped potatoes over the onion layer. After it comes the turn of carrots. Having laid it flat, you can move on to the eggs. Divide boiled eggs into whites and yolks. The first is to lay the protein layer, the second will be from the yolk.

All layers in the salad should be greased with mayonnaise and a little salt. On top of the salad "Mimosa" can be decorated as you like: use herbs, eggs, carrots.

And it is best to use your imagination, then everything will turn out not only tasty, but also beautiful. For a rich taste and impregnation of each layer, "Mimosa" should be placed in the refrigerator for several hours.

Mimosa salad with boiled salmon

This version of "Mimosa" is interesting in that it does not take canned fish, as we are used to, but boiled fish.


So, you need to start cooking fish. Boil 200 g of salmon fillet with salt. Separate the fish flesh from the extra bones and mash with a fork. You also need to start boiling 4 chicken eggs and one medium carrot. Finely rub them and about 200 g of cheese, egg yolks separately from whites. Chop a small bunch of green onions.

Now we take our ingredients and put them, smearing them with mayonnaise, adding salt. The layers need to be alternated as follows: proteins, salmon, onions, hard cheese, egg yolks. You can decorate "Mimosa" with the remaining herbs. Before use, for a couple of hours, the salad should "rest" in the refrigerator.
