Mimosa Salad

Share

Mimosa Salad is a layered salad which can be found on our table during celebrations and occasions like Easter or Christmas. Mimosa salad got its name because it resembles yellow spring mimosa flowers.

The mimosa flower effect is achieved by crumbling boiled egg yolk on the surface of the layered salad. There are many varieties of the mimosa salad – in my recipe, I use canned tuna in oil but you could also use canned salmon if you prefer. I combine the fish with potato, carrot, hard boiled eggs, onion and mayo to make a creamy, delicious layered salad. Everything is finely grated in this salad which makes it really smooth. The wow factor comes from the layering.

To make Mimosa Salad, you will need the following ingredients:

So, how do you make Mimosa Salad?

Steps to make Mimosa Salad

1

Cook the carrots and potatoes

25

In a large pot bring the potatoes and carrots to a boil. Once boiling, turn the heat to medium-low. Simmer for about 15-20 minutes until they have softened.

2

Grate

15

Drain the potatoes and carrots and grate them finely.

3

Hard boil the eggs

15

In a saucepan, bring the eggs to a boil. Once boiling, remove from the heat and place the eggs in hot water for about 15 minutes.

4

Cool the eggs

10

Remove the eggs from the hot water and cool in cold water.

5

Separate the egg whites and yolks

5

Peel each egg and cut it in half. Separate the egg yolks from the whites.

6

Crumble and grate

3

Crumble the egg yolks and grate the whites.

7

Prepare the onion

5

Put the minced onion into a bowl and cover it with boiling water. Place a cover on the bowl and allow the onion to soak. This will remove some of the bitterness of the onion without actually cooking it. Drain the onion.

8

Start layering

15

Spread the tuna (or salmon) mixture into individual trifle cups or 1 large trifle bowl. Sprinkle onion in an even layer over the fish, followed by a layer of egg white. On top of the egg white, spread a thin layer of mayonnaise. Sprinkle the carrot over egg white layer; top with another layer of mayonnaise.

9

Next layers

Next, place a layer of potato and spread a final thin layer of mayonnaise on top. Garnish with a layer of crumbled egg yolks.

10

Serve

1

Serve with crackers or bread.
