Mimosa Salad with Red Fish

Cookinero 5 Mar 2025

The Soviet salad "Mimosa" is most often prepared with canned fish. However, you can use lightly salted trout instead. In this version, fresh cucumber is also used instead of boiled potatoes and carrots. The salad is less caloric, and fresh fish gives the dish a more pleasant taste. The salad is prepared in the same way as the classic version - fish, vegetables and mayonnaise are laid out in layers.
