Mimosa Salad with Pink Salmon and Cheese - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can substitute pink salmon with canned tuna, sardines, or even smoked mackerel for a different flavor.
Store the salad in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. The mayonnaise may cause the ingredients to soften over time.
Absolutely! Skip the pink salmon and add layers of avocado, chickpeas, or marinated tofu for a protein-rich vegetarian alternative.
Use the small holes of a box grater or a microplane for finely grated cheese and eggs. Chill the cheese and boiled eggs beforehand for easier grating.
Yes, you can assemble the salad a few hours ahead, but add the final mayonnaise and yolk garnish just before serving to keep the texture fresh.
Reduce the potatoes or replace them with boiled cauliflower for a lower-carb version. Adjust the other layers as needed.
You can use Greek yogurt, sour cream, or a mix of both for a lighter, tangier dressing without sacrificing creaminess.
Try garnishing with fresh dill, chives, or microgreens for added color and flavor. A sprinkle of paprika also adds a nice touch.
Freezing is not recommended, as the mayonnaise-based layers will separate and become watery when thawed, affecting the texture.
Simply double or triple the ingredients proportionally. Use a larger serving dish or assemble individual portions in small jars for a stylish presentation.
