Mimosa is a salad that we remember from childhood.He came to us from those times when the shortage of food did not allow our predecessors to cook delicious dishes. But, nevertheless, this salad, which consists of simple ingredients, sold in any store, is still very popular on our festive tables and simple home dinners. Some mistresses of the old school prepare him, because they are used to him for many years, and he casts nostalgic thoughts. But, in fact, the mimosa also appeals to the new generation, which has not found the times of the "deficit". What is its secret? And the secret is in his tenderness and special taste.
The recipe for classic mimosa includes the following ingredients:

Mimosa salad with cheese.
Eggs boil hard to make the yolk friable,but not digested, otherwise it will have a blue color. Cooled and peeled eggs are divided into protein and yolk separately. We rub it on the grater and set it aside. Hard cheese is also rubbed on a large grater in a separate bowl.
Next, in another bowl, lay the fish out of the jar and knead it well with a fork.
Separately, cut finely onion (the smaller, the better).
And now we start to lay this all on a dish in the form of a hill. Lay out the salad layers in a certain order, without stirring:
the first layer - the grated egg whites, which we neatly lay out on a platter in the form of a circle;
the second layer - grated cheese (also laid out evenly on the boundaries);
All this is smeared with a thin layer of mayonnaise.
The third layer is the fish itself;
the fourth layer is laid onions, and also smeared with mayonnaise.
Then all this is abundantly sprinkled with grated eggyolk and is decorated with a branch of greenery. Mimosa salad is ready. You only need to put it in the refrigerator for a couple of hours, so that all the layers are soaked with mayonnaise, and you can serve to the table.
