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.

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

Absolutely! Replace the fish with mashed avocado or crumbled tofu and use vegan mayo for a plant-based alternative.
Yes, assemble the salad (except the final yolk sprinkle) 4-6 hours ahead. Add the yolk topping just before serving for best texture.
