Recipe for making Mimosa salad (with photo):
Eggs put in any container, put on the stove and cook to a steep consistency.
Wash carrots, put in a pan, cover with water, salt and boil until ready.
When the carrots are cooked, peel them.
Do the same with the eggs - peel off the shell.
Now rub the eggs and carrots on a coarse grater.
Open the canned food, put the fish in a plate and remember it with a fork. In this case, leave the oil in a tin, it is not useful to us for salad.
Accepted lay layers of salad. On the plate set the form, on the bottom of which put a layer of fish and pour it with mayonnaise.
Place chopped onions on top, which can be pickled in vinegar if you like. I did not do this, because vinegar is not very fond of.
Pour onions with mayonnaise, mustard and put a layer of carrots, which also season with mayonnaise.
Lay out the egg layer and smear it with mayonnaise too.
Put the last layer of cheese, which you can’t water with mayonnaise on top, you can decorate with greens only. If your cheese is not bright yellow, then swap it with the egg. Only in this case it will be necessary to divide the yolk and protein into two layers, where the yolk should be the top.
Before serving the salad, remove the mold, only very carefully so as not to destroy our salad. And as you can see, this salad is very simple and easy to repeat. Looks appetizing, and the taste is delicate.
