Salads, decorated in all sorts of ways, are an integral part of any festive table. Beautifully and unusually decorated salads are especially relevant in houses with small children. It is impossible to imagine a table without decorated salads at a children's matinee, birthday party, etc. Everyone can decorate the dish, you just need to show a little imagination.
There are many ways to decorate salads with tomatoes. For example, flowers can be made from tomatoes, or slices can be beautifully laid out in a certain order. Dishes decorated with cherry tomatoes in the form of cherries, tulips, etc. look interesting.
How to make a rose from a tomato
In order to make a beautiful rose from a tomato, you must first wash the vegetable thoroughly, then carefully cut off the skin from it with a knife. It is worth noting that you need to cut it so that you get a "tape" with a length of 10 centimeters. The next step is to create the flower itself. To do this, take a toothpick and fix one edge of the cut peel on it (you can just pierce it) and gently wrap it around the toothpick, forming a bud.
Tomato tulips
In order to make a bouquet of tulips, you need to use small tomatoes. So, first you need to wash the tomatoes, then cut them lengthwise with a knife so that you get four slices (you only need to cut to the middle of the vegetable). Now, using a small spoon, lightly scrape the pulp of the tomato and fill the resulting space with mayonnaise (you can make a special thick light-colored sauce). As soon as the buds are ready, you can decorate the salad: lay the green onion feathers (these will be the stems and leaves), and lay out "tulips" beautifully on them, forming a bouquet.
Tomato ladybug
Making a ladybug from a tomato is very simple. To do this, you need to cut the tomato into two parts (it is better to use a small tomato), take one part and make small holes on the convex side with a toothpick, then place tiny pieces of pre-cut black olive in them. Now you need to make the head and antennae. You can use a quarter of an olive as a head, and any greens as an antennae.
Cherry tomato
Making cherries from tomatoes is very easy. To do this, you need to cut a washed tomato in half (it is better to take a small vegetable), put the slices on a dish next to each other, then use greens to make a twig with cuttings.
