Greens, vegetables, fruits, as well as boiled eggs, cheese and even colored butter are the best helpers in decorating sandwiches. This decoration should be combined with the main ingredients to taste and at the same time contrast with them in color. When you lay out ready-made sandwiches on a dish, watch the combinations: tomato decorations are in harmony with egg, cucumber - with dill, etc.

Instructions
Step 1
The easiest way to decorate any sandwich is to sprinkle it with finely chopped dill, parsley, celery, or lettuce. It will be a little more difficult with the feathers of green onions. Cut off 2/3 of the greens and the same amount of the white part of the onion arrow. Make as many cuts as possible along the remaining green leaves. Put feathers in ice water for 10 minutes: they will curl up.
Step 2
Fresh, pickled or pickled cucumbers can be simply sliced. You can make spirals or baskets from them (and fill them with berries). Tomatoes are also cut into thin slices, combined with fresh basil leaves. Even small tomatoes can be cut across in a zigzag fashion. You can put a flower out of the tomato peel. To do this, with a sharp knife in a continuous line in a spiral, you need to cut off the skin from the tomato.
Step 3
Carrots are used for decoration, boiled and raw. Carrots boiled in salted water with the addition of vinegar are cut into cubes. Raw - cut with a vegetable cutter lengthwise into thin strips. Each strip is secured with a toothpick and placed in ice water for 5 minutes. Then remove the carrot curl from the skewer.
Step 4
Boiled eggs are cut into round pieces. Or - cut them in half, so that later you get two "crowns".
Step 5
Lemon or orange can be cut into thin circles. An incision is made in each piece from the middle to the edge. Turn the wheel in two different directions.
Step 6
Pieces of cheese are given different shapes: triangles, squares, cubes, cubes. Cut out pieces of the same shape from apples or pears. String them on a skewer.
Step 7
Colored butter (with the addition of herbs or tomatoes) is placed in the freezer. Taking it out, grate it and put it on top of the sandwich.
