How to make a classic Mimosa salad with potatoes and canned food? Prepare the necessary products. Any canned food is suitable: sardine, saira, mackerel, both in oil and in your own juice.

Pre-boil the potatoes and carrots in boiling water until cooked. Check the readiness of vegetables with a knife. If the knife pierces the vegetable freely, then it is ready. Remove the boiled vegetables from the water and cool completely. Peel the potatoes and grate over a coarse grater.

Peel and grate the carrots, too.

Put the canned fish in a suitable bowl. Mash the fish with a fork. I have canned food with my own juice. At the same time, I add liquid to fish, and the salad is more juicy. If desired, the liquid may not be used.

You can take the cheese that you love more: hard, semi-hard or melted. Grate the cheese finely.

Boil the eggs hard-boiled. How to boil hard-boiled eggs? Pour water over the eggs, bring to a boil. Cook the eggs over a moderate heat for 7-8 minutes from the moment you boil. Lower the boiled eggs into cold water to cool. Eggshells will be better cleaned from the temperature drop. Peel the chilled eggs, separate the proteins from the yolks. Finely grate the proteins.

Salad assembly can be done in the serving ring. Place it on a plate. Put the grated potatoes in the first layer, level. If necessary, this layer can be slightly salted.

Brush the potato layer with mayonnaise on top.

Then place the grated carrots. Flatten a layer of carrots with a spoon. Pour over the mayonnaise.

The next layer is grated cheese. Again, mayonnaise.

Lay out the canned fish, level.

Brush the fish layer with a little mayonnaise.

Rub the egg yolks on a fine grater over the canned food. Leave some yolks to decorate the salad on top.

Lay the egg whites evenly in the last layer. Brush the salad on top with mayonnaise. Refrigerate the salad for 2 hours to soak.

Dill, dry well, chop finely.

Before serving, garnish the salad on top as desired and to taste, using crushed greens and the remaining egg yolks grated over a fine grater. Enjoy your meal!
