No celebration, especially New Year's, with family or friends, is never complete without salads. Even the simplest salad decoration will delight the eye and bring an extra festive atmosphere to the house.
Instructions
Step 1
Boiled Egg Decorations Cut off the top just above the middle of the boiled egg. Take out the yolk. Use a knife to cut the edges of the egg so that you get rounded or sharp "petals". Chop the yolk, mix with mayonnaise and place in the middle of the egg. Using finely chopped fresh herbs, form a round water lily leaf on the salad. In the center of each "leaf" plant a "water lily" flower from an egg. Cut the boiled egg lengthwise. Take out the yolk. Cut the protein lengthwise into thin strips. Chop the yolk. Place the sprigs of herbs on the salad. Where the chamomile flowers should be, lay out strips of eggs in a circle. Place the crumbled yolk in the center of each chamomile. Cut the boiled egg into quarters. Chop the yolk. Put the butterfly out of the egg slices on the salad. For the calf, use crumbled yolk or a strip of bell pepper. Make the antennae from the feathers of green onions. Eyes can be made from black peppercorns or olive slices. For the pattern on the butterfly wings, make dots with mayonnaise and sprinkle them with crushed yolk. Cut the boiled egg in half. Take out the yolk. Grate the white, chop the yolk. Place the green onion feathers on the salad. Form inflorescences from grated white and yolk. If you put the protein in a circle, you get a dandelion. To make mimosa, take a sprig of fresh dill and put the yolk on top in a light layer so that the greens shine through. For a lilac branch, add a little beet juice to the grated egg white and grate the egg white. Form a "snowman" on the surface of the lettuce by laying out the squirrels in a circle. There can be 2 or 3 circles. Make the eyes from small pieces of olive or black peppercorns. Make a nose out of a small piece of boiled carrots. A hat can be made from a slice of bell pepper or a tomato. Grate the white of a boiled egg and mix with grated cream cheese or plain cheese. Add some mayonnaise to the resulting mass and form into small balls. Almost any salad can be decorated with such "snowballs". You can also make a snowman out of them.
Step 2
Decorating with salted red fish Fillet of salmon or pink salmon thinly slice along the long side of the piece. Roll roses from the resulting strips and put them on the salad along with sprigs of dill or parsley.
Step 3
Finely chop the dill or parsley. Cut the herringbone stencil out of cardboard (the herringbone should be in the center of the sheet). Place the stencil on the salad and cover with chopped herbs. This design option is best suited for Mimosa salad. After all, crushed yolk is used to decorate this salad on top, and the stencil in this case will not stick to the surface of the salad. For a salad, the top layer of which is saturated with mayonnaise, for example, “herring under a fur coat,” the herring tree can be folded from green onion feathers. Christmas tree toys can be made with chopped olives, canned corn, and beetroot-dyed mayonnaise. Cut an asterisk from a piece of cheese. Make snowflake dots out of mayonnaise and form a spruce leg out of dill sprigs. Decorate the spruce twig with a toy made from a cut-off tomato. Serpentine can be made from lemon zest, cut in a spiral shape.
Step 4
Decorating with boiled vegetables Cut a thin and wide strip in a spiral with a sharp knife from peeled boiled beets or carrots. Roll a rose from the resulting strips. Use parsley or dill for the leaves.
