How to cook Mimosa with canned food and cheese
But let’s move a little away from the classics and look at an improved version of the salad. And cheese diversifies our usual snack. It will give Mimosa tenderness and highlight the taste of other products. This recipe is very tasty and I will say that I always cook in this variation.
Ingredients:
- Boiled potatoes – 3 pcs.
- Boiled carrots – 3 pcs.
- Canned tuna (or other canned food) – 1 can
- Boiled eggs – 6 pcs.
- Hard cheese – 130 g
- Onion – 1/2 head
- Mayonnaise
- Dill for decoration
- Salt
Cooking method:
1. We immediately begin preparing the products. Boil vegetables and eggs in advance. And then we grate everything on a fine grater. Why on a shallow one, because this way the ingredients will soak in faster. Just don’t forget to separate the yolks from the whites and grate everything into separate bowls.
2. Also grate the cheese on a fine grater. I’ll say right away that you don’t need to save on this product, because it adds tenderness to the salad.
You can take the most ordinary cheese, Russian or Gouda, but not cheap, because in the end it will not give any taste.
3. Cut half the onion into small cubes and place in a separate bowl. Pour boiling water over the vegetable for a few minutes. This way we will get rid of the pungent odor and bitterness. In the case of salad onions, these procedures are not necessary.
4. We begin to assemble our salad. Place potatoes on the dish as the first layer, add some salt and coat with mayonnaise. Place tuna mashed with a fork on top (along with oil) and sprinkle everything with onions.
There is no need to grease the fish with mayonnaise, as it will be very greasy. After all, we did not drain the oil from the canned food when we kneaded it.
5. Next, lay out the cheese, distributing it evenly throughout the entire volume and coat with a thin layer of sauce. Next we put the carrots and perform the same actions with it.
6. The final layer consists of eggs. We place the white in the middle, but without touching the edges. We sprinkle them with grated yolk, but not all of them. Leave just a little bit for decorating the branches. This creates a very unusual salad decoration.
7. Now place the dill sprigs on top and sprinkle the tops with the remaining yolk. This creates the feeling of real Mimosa inflorescences.
The finished salad will need 1 hour to soak in, because we grated the ingredients on a fine grater. I highly recommend making this recipe, especially if you have never tried adding a layer of cheese.

The variety of canned fish produced, both in terms of the raw materials used and the method of preparation, allows them to be used in various dishes. Most recipes allow for the substitution of canned goods; the difference between any containing oil is not that significant, although it does affect the taste.

In tomato with vegetables | — | + | + |
Unassembled fish in tomato | — | Rarely | + |
Slices in tomato | Rarely | + | + |
In oil | + | + | + |
Blanched | + | + | + |
Natural fish | + | + | + |

The proposed table is for reference, but generally accurate; it shows that canned foods containing oil are more versatile. As for the choice of specific fish, it is more a matter of personal taste; the only limitation may be the calorie content of canned food, if this is recommended for diet purposes.
Salad according to any of the proposed recipes, with the exception of cod liver appetizer, can be prepared from sardines or saury in oil. These canned foods are quite versatile, the fish in them is tender and has a pleasant taste. When choosing a specific manufacturer, you should start with a moderate price category, selecting products from one type of fish.
