A festive meal with your friends and family is always a pleasant pastime. To make this event more vivid, it is important not only to prepare delicious dishes, but also to decorate and serve them in such a way that they immediately arouse an appetite in everyone present and a great desire to try everything as soon as possible.
The salad can be either part of a dish or served separately. Various ideas for decorating holiday salads will help you prepare not only a delicious dish, but also pleasing to the eye.
Instructions
Step 1
The most important step is to decide whether the salad will be part of a dish or stand alone. Remember, a birthday salad should always look colorful, so use ingredients in a wide variety of colors. The most commonly used colors are green, red and yellow.
Step 2
The way the salad is served is very important. Try to come up with some unusual ways, for example, serving it in halves of a pumpkin or melon, after removing all the flesh from them. Use glass or wooden decorative bowls, if desired, to serve the salad in a beautiful and exotic way.
Step 3
An unusual decoration must be invented for the salad. Salads can be made more appealing by sprinkling with nuts, capers, finely chopped green peppers, or grated cheese.
Step 4
All ingredients used for decoration must be pre-cooled. Greens must be rinsed in cold salted water, then dried thoroughly, packed in a bag and refrigerated before use.
Step 5
Certain fruits, such as apples, peaches, bananas, and pears, tend to darken after you cut them. This can be avoided by sprinkling them lightly with vinegar or lemon juice.
Step 6
Garnish the fruit salad with fruit wedges and mint sprigs. An unusual solution would be to serve fruit salad in half a coconut shell, or in an orange or grapefruit peel.
Step 7
Finally, when decorating, make sure that the salad does not "peek" over the edges of the dish and the decorations do not fall on the tablecloth.
