Mimosa salad Pig in the meadow

Mimosa salad is a New Year's classic, adored by both adults and children. Mimosa can be prepared as a cake and garnished with a family of egg pigs. To do this, you will need a chicken egg, a couple of quail eggs, a slice of carrot and a few black peppercorns. Piglets can also organize a meadow of greenery. By the way, you can also let the piglet family graze on herring under a fur coat or on a salad with squid.

Ingredients

• 5 medium carrots
• 5 medium potatoes
• 5 chicken eggs
• 400 g pink salmon (or salmon) fillet
• 1 large green apple
• 5 green onion feathers
• small bunch of dill
• 250 g mayonnaise
• lemon juice
• salt
• To decorate:
• 1 chicken egg
• 3 quail eggs
• 8 black peppercorns
• 1 boiled carrot
• • dill (optional)

Directions

1. Boil the carrots and potatoes in boiling salted water until tender. Cool and clean. Grate potatoes and carrots on a fine grater.
2. Boil chicken eggs hard-boiled (do not forget that you will need one for decoration, without peeling, immediately put it in the refrigerator). Peel the rest of the eggs and divide into whites and yolks. Grate the proteins. Crumble the yolks.
3. Steam salmon fillet, salt and cool. Disassemble with a fork into small pieces.
4. Peel the apples and seeds and grate on a fine grater, sprinkle with lemon juice. Chop the green onion and dill finely.
5. Put a split ring with a diameter of 22-25 cm on the dish; it is convenient to use a split cake mold for this purpose. Put half of the potatoes in the first layer in the ring, add a little salt and brush with mayonnaise. Put half the fish in the second layer, brush with mayonnaise again. Sprinkle over the entire surface with onions and dill.
6. The next layer is half a carrot, brush with mayonnaise. Repeat the layers of potatoes, fish and carrots, lubricating each layer.
7. Then lay out a layer of apples, brush with mayonnaise. Lay out the proteins, brush well with mayonnaise. Sprinkle the top layer of lettuce with crumbled yolks.
8. Cover the salad with cling film and refrigerate for 2-3 hours. Before serving, leave for 15 minutes at room temperature and remove the split ring.
9. To decorate, boil the quail eggs, place them under running cold water. Then peel very gently, like a chicken egg. You will get a mother pig from a chicken egg and piglets from quail. Peel the quail eggs especially carefully - they should not be harmed, the piglets should have smooth and shiny barrels. From the carrot circles, make ears, piglets and tails for the pig and piglets (for the tails, carrots can be cut into strips and twisted). Make the eyes from cloves or black peppercorns. Place the figurines on the salad. You can also make dill bushes on the yellow lawn from eggs - for more authenticity of the scenery.
