A vegetable dish looks more attractive and appetizing if it is not only deliciously cooked, but also beautifully decorated. Roses and tulips, boats and airplanes - all these decorations for your culinary masterpieces can be made from the simplest available food.
Instructions
Step 1
Make beautiful sailboats from carrots and lettuce leaves that will decorate almost any vegetable dish.
Take a medium carrot, wash it, boil it, peel it.
Cut the boiled carrots into several pieces across, 4-5 cm long. Cut the resulting cylinders lengthwise into four pieces.
Take skewers for olives, pin a piece of lettuce on each - this will be the sail of the boat. Place a skewer in the middle of each carrot slice. The sailboats are ready.
Step 2
Make a beautiful spruce cone that will harmoniously fit into the decoration of any vegetable salad.
Take a medium-sized carrot, wash it, boil it, peel it.
Shape the carrots into a cylindrical shape by rounding the wider edge. Make an arcuate cut at the base. Use a knife to remove the thin layer of carrot pulp behind the cut, thus forming a bulky scale.
Continue to shape the scales from the base to the top of the cylinder. Make the cuts in a checkerboard pattern. Make the upper scales longer than the lower ones. Place lettuce next to the finished buds.
Step 3
Make white roses from radishes, which, when combined with watercress leaves, add a sophisticated and original look to a vegetable dish.
The radishes need to be washed, the tops and tail removed.
Then carefully cut off the top and peel off the skin with a sharp knife.
Make five arcuate intersecting cuts on the radish root vegetable. Dip the root vegetable in cold water to allow the petals to bloom. The rose is ready.
Step 4
Make a spectacular bunch of grapes out of fresh green cucumber that will perfectly decorate any vegetable salad. Wash the cucumber, cut the skin off with a sharp knife. Form balls from the cucumber pulp using a round notch. Cut the grape leaves from the skin of the cucumber. Arrange the balls and leaves so that they look like a bunch of grapes.
Step 5
Cut beautiful red flowers with white centers - peonies from radishes. Place them among parsley and lettuce leaves and you get an interesting composition that will decorate any vegetable dish. Take the root vegetables of the radish, wash them, remove the tops, cut off the tip and top. Using a sickle-shaped knife, make 6 arcuate cuts on the root crop. Dip the radish flower in cold water to open the petals.
