  • 300 g of potatoes

Description

This salad is a classic dish of Russian cuisine. Mimosa is not only a tasty salad, but also a decoration for every table: The salad is sprinkled with crumbled egg yolk and resembles a blossoming flower.

Like almost every layered salad, the mimosa is not only relatively easy to prepare, but lends itself also to simple variations. You can replace the ingredients as you wish. For example, if you do not like potatoes, you can take rice instead. For canned fish, it is not necessary to choose tuna. You can also buy sardines in their own juice, salmon or saury.
