A favorite on the holiday table—give it a try! Mimosa salad with pink salmon and cheese is one take on the classic everyone loves. As the name suggests, it's made with canned pink salmon, and cheddar fits in here perfectly. Adjust the amount of mayonnaise to taste—it's best not to overdo it so everything stays in balance.

    1. Wash the potatoes and carrots, put them in a pot, and add enough water to cover the vegetables completely. Set over the heat and cook until fully tender, about 20–25 minutes from the moment it boils—the vegetables should turn soft. Drain and set aside for now. 2. Hard-boil the eggs; this takes 7–8 minutes. Cool them in a bowl of cold water, then peel. Separate the yolks from the whites. Grate the whites on the coarse side of a grater, and simply mash the yolks with a fork so they crumble evenly onto a saucer. 3. Peel the onion and chop it as finely as you can. Drain the liquid from the canned pink salmon and mash it with a fork. 4. Once the boiled potatoes have cooled, peel them and grate them on the coarse side. Peel and grate the carrots as well. 5. Choose an attractive platter to serve the salad on and start building the layers: a layer of potato, spread with mayonnaise, salted and peppered, then a layer of pink salmon, topped with the chopped onion and more mayonnaise. 6. Grate the cheddar on the fine side and add it as the next layer. Then add the carrot, spread it out evenly, and coat with mayonnaise. Finally, it's the egg whites' turn—spread a little more mayonnaise on top. 7. Sprinkle the surface of the salad with the egg yolks and garnish with fresh dill. You can decorate it differently—whatever pleases the eye. 8. Refrigerate the salad for at least two hours so the layers soak through properly. Serve and enjoy!
