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 saucepan, cover with water, salt and boil until tender.
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.
Taken to 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.
Put chopped onions on top, which you can marinate in vinegar if you like. I did not do this, because vinegar is not very fond of.
Onions, pour mayonnaise, mustard and put a layer of carrots, which also season with mayonnaise.
Put the egg layer and grease it with mayonnaise.
Put the last layer of cheese, which you can’t pour 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 upper one should be the yolk.
Before serving, 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.
