Note
Mimosas are easy to make. However, even this simple appetizer can be made even better with a few helpful tips:
1. For this salad, it's best to choose farm eggs with bright yolks. This will make the dish much more appealing.
2. For this salad, it's best to use tart and firm apples, like Antonovka apples. And, of course, it's best to use green apples. They have just the right texture and flavor.
3. Different onions are used in this salad. Some prefer classic white onions, some yellow, and some even red. It all depends on your preference. If you're having trouble deciding on an onion because all varieties are too spicy, try marinating the onions in a mixture of vinegar, sugar, salt, and water beforehand. This will help make the onions less bitter and pungent.
4. Ideally, the Mimosa should be refrigerated. The salad needs to be thoroughly infused, which takes at least an hour. So, it's best to let the ingredients infuse each other's flavors before serving.
