And the name fully reflects its appearance - fluffy mimosa flowers on a snowy hill. Today we will prepare one of the Mimosa salad options - with cheese!

In general, it must be said that the classic, original recipe for this delicious dish hardly anyone knows. However, its three essential ingredients remain unchanged - canned fish, boiled eggs and mayonnaise. Meanwhile, numerous recipes for this festive salad vary depending on the preferences of the cooks who prepare it.

So, for example, Mimosa fish salad comes with canned sardine, saury, pink salmon, mackerel, cod (cod liver) and even crab sticks. That is, almost any canned fish. Eggs can also be used not only chicken, but also quail. There is a Mimosa salad with apples (very juicy option), many people like this dish with a layer of soft butter.

Today I will share with you my recipe for Mimosa salad with cheese, in addition to which it also includes boiled carrots(who loves) and potatoes. I do not add oil, since our strong half does not accept it in the finished dish. But the cheese goes with a bang! By the way, this product can be chosen according to your taste and possibilities.

Mimosa salad is served not only on one common dish, but also in portions (only necessarily in layers) - this way it looks even more impressive and presentable. Before serving, this delicious salad must be allowed to stand in the refrigerator and soak for several hours.

Ingredients:

(250 grams) (100 grams) (300 grams) (200 grams) (130 grams) (4 pieces ) (3 tablespoons) (3 tablespoons)

Cooking step by step with photos:


The recipe for this delicious salad includes any canned fish (you can use both natural and with the addition of oil), potatoes, carrots, onions, chicken eggs, cheese such as Russian or Dutch, as well as sour cream and mayonnaise (best homemade) as a sauce. Optionally, use a couple sprigs of fresh dill to garnish the finished Mimosa Cheese Salad.


The first step is to cook vegetables (potatoes and carrots) in their uniforms and hard-boiled eggs. We tear off a jar of canned fish and transfer the contents to a plate. We take out the spinal bones from the pieces (although they are soft, but I don’t like it when they get on the tooth), and knead the pulp with a fork. Whether or not to use liquid from a jar in a salad is a matter of taste (I use it).


Then add the onion to the fish, which needs to be peeled and finely chopped with a knife into cubes. The amount of onion depends on your taste preferences. In my case, a larger than average bulb is used. If you come across a very vigorous vegetable, from which it just knocks out a tear, you can get rid of bitterness. To do this, scald the chopped onion with boiling water, and then pour it over with ice water - all the unpleasant smell and bitterness will go away. You can also pickle onions in a mixture of salt, sugar and lemon juice(we take it by eye), then the finished Mimosa salad will have a piquant zest. Mix the fish pulp with onions and leave for now to work on other ingredients.


Grind any hard or semi-hard cheese (Russian, Dutch, Poshekhonsky and the like) on a fine grater. Only not on the one that gives puree, but a little larger, so that the cheese turns out to be small, airy and fluffy.


During this time, chicken eggs were boiled - usually they are boiled hard-boiled for 8-10 minutes after boiling. We put the dishes with ready-made eggs under a stream of cold running water, then we clean them from the shell and divide them into squirrels-yolks. I had store-bought eggs, so the yolk is not yellow, but very pale - you can hardly distinguish it from protein. But, as you know, mimosa is a plant with yellow flowers saturated in color. However, there are no hopeless situations, only difficult situations: later I will tell you how to make the yolks really yellow!


So, you can gradually lay the finished ingredients in layers. By tradition, I use deep bowls, which I completely line with cling film - so the products do not stick in the dishes and the salad comes out evenly on the dish. The layers are laid out the other way around, that is, the bottom of the bowl is the top of the salad. The first layer is egg whites (we will need the yolks at the very end, so put them in the refrigerator for now), which need to be chopped on a coarse grater and evenly put in a bowl. Do not forget to coat each layer with sauce (just mix sour cream with mayonnaise) and tamp the food tightly with a spoon so that the finished Mimosa salad with cheese does not fall apart later.


Next, lay a layer of chopped cheese on the proteins with sauce and also evenly distribute it around the perimeter. Lubricate with sauce.


Now the fish layer is canned food mixed with onions. By the way, it turns out to be quite juicy (if you add liquid from a jar), so you can not smear it with sour cream and mayonnaise - this is optional.


While we were making the salad, potatoes and carrots were cooked. They need to be peeled and allowed to cool slightly so as not to burn your hands.


Then we grind the peeled carrots on a coarse grater - it has already cooled down. We put the next layer (after the fish one), level it and generously coat it with sour cream and mayonnaise sauce.


Finally, the final one is the potato layer. For him, peeled potatoes are also chopped on a coarse grater and evenly placed in a bowl. Lightly press all the ingredients with a spoon or directly with the palm of your hand so that the layers grab. You can leave the Mimosa salad with cheese in this form soak in the refrigerator for several hours.

“Mimosa” is a layered salad with fish and eggs, prepared both for the holidays and for every day. It has a huge popularity, and is loved by many families for its unpretentiousness in cooking.

Despite the fact that it is prepared quite easily and quickly, it is very tasty and nutritious. And if you know some little secrets, it turns out tender, juicy and fragrant.

Both adults and children love it. And although they cook it often, always for festive table you can hear the following phrase: "And please put me" mimosa ". And the dish with it is always empty first.

By the way, this salad appeared relatively recently, in the 70s, when there was no particular abundance of products.

It is not known exactly who invented it, but it is known that he very quickly became famous and won the hearts and tables of the inhabitants of our country. He quickly gained popularity among Soviet housewives and even for some time supplanted herring under a fur coat and the famous Olivier.

The fact is that ready meal has a delicate bright taste and looks beautiful and, in addition, is prepared from simple and available products, which can be purchased at any nearby store: canned fish, potatoes, carrots, eggs and mayonnaise.

Of course, there are options - potatoes and carrots may not be added, cheese, apple, rice and onions may be added. Canned fish (saury, pink salmon, salmon, tuna, cod), eggs and mayonnaise are always added.

Mimosa salad with saury

We will need:

  • canned food - 1 can
  • potatoes - 3 pcs.
  • carrots - 2 pcs.
  • eggs - 4 pcs.
  • mayonnaise - to taste
  • salt - to taste

The first thing we need to decide is the choice of dishes in which we will serve it. It depends on how it will look on your table.

Design options

  1. We use an ordinary deep plate or form if you are preparing it just for a family dinner. It is better to use transparent so that the layers can be seen. Lay it out layer by layer.
  2. We form on a flat plate in the form of a slide. And decorate to your liking.
  3. We take a deep round or square shape, line it with cling film, put all the products in it in layers. Leave in the refrigerator for 7-8 hours. Then we turn it over on a flat plate, remove the film and decorate. With this method of supply, each layer must be compacted . So that the content does not crumble when we turn it over.
  4. You can use portioned bowls, or certain forms, where we form a salad, either as in 1 or 3 cases.

5. Removable molds used for baking are also used.

6. And there are even cases where cropped large plastic bottles from under the water.

Cooking:

  1. Boil potatoes, carrots, eggs. Prepare a jar of canned food, drain the liquid from it and lightly top it with a fork. Today we use saury.
  2. When the food has cooled, grate potatoes, carrots and egg white on a coarse grater.
  3. Grate the egg yolk on a fine grater.
  4. Put half of the potatoes in the prepared dish. Next - a layer of fish, then pour a little fish juice evenly over the entire area.
  5. Cover the fish with the remaining half of the potatoes.
  6. Grease a layer of potatoes with mayonnaise.
  7. Now it's the turn of the carrots. Made a layer, lightly salt.
  8. Then protein, and again lightly salt.
  9. Another layer of mayonnaise.
  10. Now it's time for the decoration. In the very simple version a layer of yolk is placed on top.
  11. But if you want to arrange a salad original way turn on your fantasy.

  • along the edge of the workpiece can be sprinkled green onion, or a mixture of onions and dill.
  • on the last mayonnaise layer, on which the egg yolk has not yet been put, put a sprig of dill. The yolk is distributed in the form of mimosa flowers. As a festive option, it looks very impressive.
  • cut beautiful flowers from carrots, dill or green onion use as leaves, decorate to your liking.
  • for decoration, use black or red caviar - a chic festive option.
  • come up with a design with quail eggs.

cooking secrets

  1. Do not overcook vegetables. To make your dish not like a mess, vegetables must be cooked, not overcooked.
  2. Don't overcook the eggs. If you boil eggs for a long time, the color of the yolk will be gray and ugly. Boil the eggs for no more than 10 minutes.
  3. Use eggs with a bright yellow yolk.
  4. Mayonnaise take good quality, verified. From cheap mayonnaise, or from fat-free mayonnaise, the dish will not be so tasty.
  5. Mayonnaise should be used sparingly, as much as necessary, no more and no less. Lubricate the layers, but do not flood them. It should taste like lettuce, not mayonnaise.
  6. When buying fish, carefully read the information on the jar. Try to choose a product directly from the places where this fish is caught. I personally have great doubts about saury from Omsk or Kursk, and I simply don’t buy it.
  7. If you bought the “right” fish, it usually takes up a larger volume of the jar, there is a minimum of liquid in it, the fish is in whole pieces and has the smell of delicious canned fish. In this case, the liquid can not be drained. Fluff the fish with a fork along with the liquid. And put it in this form on potatoes.
  8. Potatoes will soak in the juice from the fish, and the dish will be much tastier.
  9. I really like this kind of cooking, when the ingredients are not rubbed on a grater in advance. If the layers do not need to be pressed tightly in order to turn them over later, I rub everything one by one immediately into the form. And I don't press.
  10. It seems to me that in this form it turns out even more tender and tasty.
  11. AT classic version cooking, onions are often used, either green or finely chopped onion. I don't like this option. Onions deprive the dish of uniformity, you feel the onion when you eat it. He crunches on his teeth. Sometimes onions are poured with boiling water, or even overcooked. But this taste in any of its forms bothers me. But you do as you see fit.
  12. At the end of cooking, place the dish with the contents in the refrigerator for at least 2-3 hours.
  13. Serve in portions, put on a plate without breaking all the layers.

Delicious "Mimosa" with cheese

As an option, the version of the dish with the addition of cheese is very tasty. "Mimosa" acquires in this case new notes. And if you want to diversify favorite dish you can decorate it with cheese.

All the ingredients in this recipe are the same as in the first cooking option. In addition, you need to purchase hard cheese - 150 grams. When you assemble the dish into a whole structure, place the grated cheese on a grater between the potato and carrot layers.

Don't forget to coat it with mayonnaise. The rest of the recipe is the same as in the previous version.

How to make a salad with cheese and apples

Another interesting option, very tasty and tender. Potatoes are not used here. And an apple is used. It is better to use sweet and sour. I like the Semerenko variety.

This apple has a sweet and sour taste. It conveys all its taste and aroma characteristic of it. This gives the salad a unique taste. To make it more tender, it is better to remove the skin from the apple.

All the ingredients in this recipe are the same as in the first cooking option. We add only one large juicy apple and 150 gr. cheese.

The sequence of layers is as follows: fish, protein, grated cheese, apple, carrot, grated yolk. Do not forget that it is better for the dish to brew so that all layers have time to soak.

These are the options for preparing a delicious, tender, beloved by millions of people Mimosa salad. Cook and eat healthy.

Secrets of tender "Mimosa"

1. We choose good canned food.

Any will do sea ​​fish. The salad will be lighter if canned in its own juice (natural). With saury, tuna, sardine or pink salmon, the dish will turn out to be distinctly fishy. Pay attention to the trademarks that were highly rated by experts in the “Test Purchase” program from Channel 1 in 2015-2017.

  • Saury - "Dalmoreprodukt", "5 seas".
  • Pink salmon - "Delicious canned food", "Ultramarine", "Kitbay".
  • Tuna - "Captain of Flavors".

You can also use fish in oil. It is best to drain the oil into a separate container and add it little by little to the fish pulp and mayonnaise soaking of the potato layers.

2. Do not overcook the eggs.

Exactly 10 minutes at a medium boil so that the yolks remain yellow. Solar upper layer- the main feature of your favorite fish salad. See the end of the recipe for easy decorating ideas.

3. A thin mesh of mayonnaise is the key to a harmonious taste.

Only with it, each layer is well felt in the set. No need to clog the composition with mayonnaise abundance.

  • It is convenient to make a mesh with a high and soft package. We cut off the upper corner for a small hole and press on the bag without fanaticism. Or use a pastry bag.
  • If you are not a fan homemade sauce, take a look at the three brands for "Provencal" - "Miladora", "Mr. RICCO", "Ryaba".

4. We always collect the Mimosa salad from the cooled components.

Step by step classic recipe with photo

Preparation time - 15 minutes for assembly + up to 50 minutes for preparation of ingredients.

We need:

  • Boiled potatoes - 4 pcs. medium size (400-450 g)
  • Boiled carrots - 3 pcs. medium size (300-350 g)
  • Hard-boiled chicken eggs - 6 pcs.
  • Onion - 1 pc. (small, up to 80 g)
  • Fish pulp - 1 canned food (250-300 g)
  • Mayonnaise - 100 ml + 1 tbsp. a spoon
  • Salt, black pepper - to taste
  • Optional for garnish: tomato and dill sprigs

Let's prepare the ingredients.

Boil potatoes. Put in boiling water, cook over medium heat for up to 30 minutes. The finished root crop slides off the knife when pierced. From the stove, put the pan under cold water. After such extreme cooling, vegetables are easier to peel.

Boil carrots. Do not cut your butt and nose, do not clean, use all the tips above. Cooking time - up to 40 minutes.

We put the eggs in cold, well-salted water. Cook from the moment of boiling no longer than 10 minutes. We put it under cold water immediately from the stove.

Grinding the ingredients:

  • potatoes - on a large or medium grater;
  • carrots - medium or small;
  • We divide the eggs into proteins and yolks and separately also three on a grater.

We love large protein flakes and small ones from yolks.


We don't take a lot of onions. Enough of half a medium onion. Cut into small cubes and scalded with boiling water to release bitterness. Drain, let cool.


If you like the contrast of tastes, attract the sweet and sour crunch of a pickled onion. For this, 1 tbsp. take a spoonful of vinegar 3 tbsp. tablespoons of sugar, add to the onion, wait 20 minutes, drain the juice. The spicy ingredient is ready.

We collect the salad in layers.

Cut off the tip of the mayonnaise package or put the sauce in a pastry bag.

We start with the fish layer. We take out the fish pulp and knead with a fork. Can be mixed with a small amount of mayonnaise if we use canned food in our own juice.

Layer order.

  • Fish pulp, where there is a little oil / mayonnaise.

With the sequence of layers, you can do it differently.

Divide the potatoes in half and add a layer of potato half just after the fish. The second half remains in place - in front of the yolks. You can also share carrots. These "half-solutions", which increase the number of layers, are especially good in batch serving. Add beauty and air to each transparent glass!

How to decorate and what to add if the classics are boring

What to add?

  • Boiled rice instead of potatoes.
  • Small cubes of peeled tomatoes on a protein or potato layer.
  • Grated hard cheese before or after carrots. Put a piece of cheese in the freezer before rubbing and do not be lazy to grate it finely and quickly right over the plate. Then he gently lie down and add tenderness to the salad.
  • Combine cheese and green apple sprinkled with lemon juice.
  • Finely chop the olives, making a bright black stripe on the cut of the salad cake. It is best to put the exotic before the carrots.
