Salad
Description
The recipe won't take much time. The salad is made with canned fish; ideally, use tender pink salmon without a strong smell. While boiled carrots are used in the traditional "Mimosa" salad, here we use fresh ones. We also add apple—preferably a green one with a sweet-and-sour taste. "French Mimosa" salad is perfect for any festive table. The result is a beautiful, vibrant, and very tasty dish that will delight all lovers of fish salads. Its flavor is interesting and unusual. Serve it at the table.

Peel the onion, slice it into half-rings or quarters, sprinkle with a pinch of sugar and salt, then squeeze with your hands to release its juice. Place the onion into a deep container, pour in 1 tablespoon of vinegar and the same amount of water. Apple cider vinegar can be substituted with lemon juice. Mix well and let the onion marinate for 5 minutes. Optionally, you can briefly pour boiling water over the onion before marinating.
