Step 1:

How do you make Mimosa salad with sardines and cheese? Hard-boil the eggs. Cool them in cold water, peel them, and separate the whites from the yolks, grating each separately on the fine side of a box grater.
Step 2:

The grated whites are the first layer of the salad; spread mayonnaise over them. I built mine in a deep salad bowl rather than on a flat plate, but it's up to you.
Step 3:

Separate the fish from the bones and mash it with a fork. Spread the fish as the second layer over the egg whites. You can use canned saury instead of sardines — the flavor is somewhat similar.
Step 4:

Spread mayonnaise over the fish layer too.
Step 5:

Grate the cheese on the fine side of a box grater and add it as the third layer over the fish.
Step 6:

Spread mayonnaise over the cheese layer as well.
Step 7:

Grate the butter over the cheese layer, spreading it evenly across the whole surface. The butter makes the salad even more luscious and gives it a creamy flavor. Just be sure to use real, good-quality butter with enough fat — not a spread or margarine.
Step 8:

Sprinkle the grated egg yolks over the top and decorate to taste. The simplest touch is fresh herbs, or you can add a lemon wedge. Give the finished salad time to rest and soak. I truly hope that now you have no more questions about how to make Mimosa salad with sardines and cheese!

How can you make something delicious from ordinary ingredients? I'm sure this recipe shows just how. If you want to treat your mom or grandmother and remind them of the old days, definitely make a Mimosa salad — it's a Soviet culinary classic that future generations won't forget. Everyone loves it!
Mayonnaise is better homemade — tastier and better for you. There are some good homemade mayo recipes worth trying. You can also dress this with sour cream or plain yogurt instead of mayonnaise, on their own or mixed with mayo in whatever ratio you like, which cuts the calories.
How do you hard-boil eggs? To keep them from cracking, start them in cold water over low heat. Boil for 9 minutes after the water comes to a boil, then transfer to cold water to cool — the sudden temperature change makes them easier to peel.
