The Mimosa salad has been the main decoration of the holiday table since Soviet times. Traditionally, it includes potatoes, but they can be replaced with corn. This way, the salad will be quicker to prepare, because potatoes require preliminary boiling, while corn just needs to be taken out of the can. It can be prepared with both canned fish and crab sticks.

Make a salad. Put corn on the bottom of a serving dish, spreading mayonnaise on top. Put pink salmon on top, add salt and pepper. Then cheese and a little mayonnaise. Next, carrots and mayonnaise. Put egg white, spread mayonnaise. Sprinkle the salad with yolk on top. Serve the salad chilled.

Mimosa Salad with Corn - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I substitute canned salmon with fresh salmon in this salad?

Yes, you can use fresh cooked or baked salmon. Flake it into small pieces and ensure it's cooled before layering. Adjust seasoning as needed.

What's a good vegetarian alternative to salmon in this recipe?

Try mashed chickpeas or flaked paneer as a protein-rich substitute. They pair well with the other ingredients and maintain the salad's texture.

How long can I store Mimosa Salad in the refrigerator?

This salad keeps well for up to 2 days when tightly covered. The layers may soften over time, so enjoy it fresh for best texture.

Can I make this salad ahead of time for a party?

Yes, assemble it 3-4 hours in advance and chill. Add the final yolk garnish just before serving to keep it looking fresh.

Is there a lighter alternative to mayonnaise for this recipe?

Greek yogurt or a yogurt-mayonnaise mix works well. For a dairy-free option, try avocado mash or hummus in moderation.

How can I make this salad low-carb friendly?

Skip the corn and add diced cucumber or zucchini for crunch. Use full-fat mayo and increase the salmon and cheese quantities.

Can I freeze Mimosa Salad for later?

Freezing isn't recommended as mayonnaise-based salads separate and become watery when thawed. Fresh preparation is best.

What are some creative garnish ideas for this salad?

Try fresh dill, capers, or lemon zest on top. For color, add paprika-dusted yolk or microgreens alongside the traditional garnish.

How many servings does this recipe make?

The recipe serves about 4 as a side dish. For mains, it serves 2-3. Double layers in a larger dish for bigger groups.

Can I use other types of cheese besides what's listed?

Absolutely! Gouda, feta, or even cream cheese work well. Adjust grating or crumbling based on the cheese texture.
