  • You've probably made Mimosa salad at least once with canned saury, pink salmon, or sardines. Here I'd suggest trying it with sprats — inexpensive and a real winner. For a party, you can build the Mimosa in individual cups or small glasses so all the layers show, or use a springform pan or just a regular bowl. Start by prepping the ingredients: boil the eggs, potatoes, and carrots ahead of time, then cool and peel them. Grate the peeled carrots and potatoes on the coarse side of a box grater. Separate the boiled eggs into whites and yolks. Peel and finely chop the onion. To take the bite out of the onion, pour boiling water over it. You can also quick-pickle it: add a couple of tablespoons of vinegar, half a teaspoon of salt, and a teaspoon of sugar to the boiling water and let the onion sit for 15 minutes. Now build the salad. You'll spread mayonnaise between some of the layers but not all of them, since sprats are a fairly rich, oily fish. Layer the salad in this order: 1. Grated boiled potatoes. 2. Sprats, mashed with a fork along with a little of their oil. 3. Finely chopped onion (pickled, if you went that route). 4. A layer of mayonnaise. 5. Grated boiled carrots. 6. Grated egg whites. 7. A layer of mayonnaise. 8. Garnish with fresh herbs and finely grated egg yolks. Decorate however you like. In the classic version, green onion and dill form the stems and leaves of a mimosa branch, then little mounds of finely grated yolk become the flower clusters. Enjoy!
