How to decorate a salad for the New Year's table?

Variations of decorations for New Year's salads

For these purposes, you can use a variety of products. The ideal option is if the decoration elements are from the same products that are part of the salad itself. In this case, they will be combined with each other, and the harmony of tastes will not be disturbed. Here are a few examples from which you can choose the one you like and the most suitable for your dish.

• You can decorate the salad, for example, with a Christmas tree. Lay it out of peas, and cut a star out of bell pepper, carrot or tomato. Improvised Christmas decorations can be made from pomegranate seeds, canned corn, olives, etc.
• Decorate the dish with "hours". To do this, cut carrots into thin strips and lay out Roman numerals from them. Arrows can be made from green onion feathers or cucumber strips. Salad, the "dial" of which shows five minutes to twelve, will create a real New Year's atmosphere at the table!
• If you decide to make a figurine of any New Year's hero, feel free to cut out flowers, stars, mouth, eyes, buttons, etc. from boiled carrots.
• Does your salad contain nuts? Decorate it with "pine cones"! They can be laid out, for example, from almonds. And coniferous twigs are easy to make from dill. It will be very beautiful, original and winter-like!
• From greenery, you can create a New Year's wreath with a red pepper bow - this will decorate any dish and give it a twist.
• Do you want a festive candle to flaunt on your salad? It can be made from an oblong piece of cheese. And "smudges of wax" are perfectly obtained from mayonnaise. As a “flame tongue”, take a rhombus cut from a tomato.

Have a bright and delicious holiday!
