It will be enough for you to want to do everything correctly and beautifully.
Before you decorate the salad, you should decide on its look. There are a number of salads that are made up of layered foods. Such "designs" usually have a classic top, dictated by the recipe. The same salads, which are chopped ingredients, are a real delight for housewives.
The first way to decorate a salad. You will need boiled carrots, young herbs, and a boiled egg.
- Wash the greens, dry and chop finely.
- Peel the carrots and cut into rings.
- Peel the eggs and cut them into rings as well. The thinner the rings, the better.
- Smooth the surface of the salad and pour with mayonnaise or sour cream.
- Then place an overlap over the largest diameter of the carrot ring.
- Place the egg in a close circle in the center of the lettuce.
- Take greens and fill in the remaining space.
The second option is to decorate the salad. You will need a fresh cucumber and a piece of salted red fish.
- Wash the cucumber, do not peel the peel and cut it into beveled rings as thin as possible.
- Cut the red fish into thin slices. To make them really thin, you can buy a cut or slightly freeze a piece.
- Level the surface of the salad, if necessary, fill it with mayonnaise or sour cream.
- Roll the fish from the plates into roses and place them on one side of the salad or in the center.
- Lay out the edging with cucumber rings and add a few as petals to the "roses".
There can be countless options for decoration. Do not forget the importance of dishes, salad bowls, in which you serve salad to the table. General recommendations speak in favor of all kinds of greens, sometimes pomegranates. Vegetable salads rarely require supplementation. Their picturesque composition will look great in a transparent salad bowl. However, greens will not hurt them either.
The basis for the success of a salad is not the way it is served, but its taste, and you should not forget about this. Cook deliciously, cook with pleasure and everything will turn out beautifully. Enjoy your meal!
