Original decoration of salads for the new year. Photo recipes for salads on the festive table, their decoration

The younger generation will not be able to appreciate fine china, elegant tablecloths or intricately elaborate treats. But the decorations and beautiful, original design salads and other dishes for a children's holiday, the kids will appreciate a good appetite and exclamations: “Wow, tyyy!” Your task is not to prepare a myriad of treats, but to make them attractive and appetizing so that your child's guests have fun.

We hope that our selection of ideas beautiful design dishes for children will help you arrange a fun children's belly party for your child! So that your baby can appreciate all your efforts, be sure to involve him in decorating salads and decorating dishes with interesting design elements.

Usually for a children's party, we prepare light salads, one or two hot dishes and, of course, a cake and pastries. Don't forget the fruit cut! Kids need vitamins! Let's see what design we can do!

Very often it is difficult to feed children at a holiday with something else than sweet water and cake. The task of the adult part of the host is to feed the children with real food. We need to serve healthy salads in such a way that fidgets are interested!

For the design of salads, we use fresh and boiled vegetables and eggs, olives and lemon. All we need is a sharp knife, a grater and some time. Moreover, your small and active assistant is already standing next to you!

This original salad decoration is carried out using canned olives and black olives, suluguni cheese or long strings of Korean carrots. At the same time, you can tell the children about spiders, right?

Entrust these ladybugs to your assistant - they are so easy to make! We cut out the heads of the insect from olives, the antennae - the stalks of greenery, the dots on the red shell - from green parsley leaves, and the “cows” sat down on the parsley! Beautiful, is not it?

This vegetable "cake" is wonderful! As you can see, a very simple option! Carrots, cucumbers and cranberries! If there is no cranberry, both viburnum and mountain ash will do. Even the corn looks good!

Decorate the vegetable flower on a separate plate, and fasten the entire structure with a pair of toothpicks. While you are making out the salad, the plates of flower vegetables will “remember” their shape. After placing the flower in the center of the “cake”, carefully remove the toothpicks, because restless guests will immediately want to taste the “petals”!

Carrots and cheese shredded on a cheese grater are our tried-and-tested tools for decorating salads. Look at these tempting dishes! A tiger cub, a mushroom, a mouse... Decorating a dish with these products is very easy!

Fungus

In the design of the mushroom, not hard cheese is used, but grated egg whites and boiled carrots. Chopped dill or parsley perfectly performs the function of the herb, and the ground on the stem is a row of olives. You can “plant” a couple of ladybugs on the mushroom, which are easy to make from a small tomato and olives.

It is often very difficult for children to feed healthy food, so take the idea of ​​\u200b\u200bbeautiful decoration of a dish in the form of a mushroom and for serving vegetables daily to your child.

Rabbit

Salad mixture, laid out in the form of a rabbit, as a rule, delights not only children, but also adult guests. To keep the salad dressed with mayonnaise in shape, try to slightly reduce the amount of dressing (mayonnaise). Thin cheese chips also help hold the folded lettuce structure. The ears are the inner leaves of Chinese cabbage.

Workaholic "Bee"

Your little helper can lay out such a bee too! Just pre-cut the olives for this mosaic! Alternate olives on a salad with bright corn kernels. Dense sheets will serve as "wings" of the bee white cabbage- you only need to cut out the necessary elements from them with culinary scissors.

The smile of the sun

This smiling sun will cheer you up even on a cloudy day, and making such a salad is as easy as shelling pears! In the same way, you can decorate the salad and in portions! Well, how can a baby not try the bright smiling sun!

wise snake

But with the snake you have to tinker! The challenge is to make the serving dish look clean and fresh. And since this is quite difficult to achieve, let's arrange it in grass that will cover the surface of the serving dish. Any greenery can serve as grass. As you can see in our pictures, appearance"Snake" salad may be different.

To convey all the beauty of snake scaly skin, you can use products of different colors. It all depends on the availability of suitable products and your imagination. Tools for cutting cheese (with a wavy knife) and for cutting apple cores can help you.

boats

But this decoration of salad compositions is a little different from the previous ones! The salad is laid out in portions in halves of cucumbers. You can beat this with sweet peppers as well.

Lightly salt the grated vegetables.
Cut the herring into pieces, having previously cleaned and removed the bones.

Add 3-4 tablespoons of the mayonnaise-gelatin mixture to the beets, mix and put on the film in a layer in the form of a rectangle.
NOTE. Before laying the beetroot layer on the film, it is useful to pour finely chopped dill, which can be mixed with other herbs - this will make the roll tastier and make it easier to roll, because. will not allow the beets to stick to the film.

Or you can cover the herring with a layer of vegetables, first on one side and then on the other. (Film must not get inside the roll.)

It seems that it is difficult, take different vegetables, lettuce, mushrooms, greens. Crumble, mix, and the salad is ready. But it is important that the dish was not only tasty, but also beautiful. Decorating salads is a process no less exciting than preparing them. Here we show some interesting options decorating dishes with photos that can take pride of place on any holiday table.

Try to make your salads bright, combine ingredients of different colors in them - green, red, yellow, orange. This will give not only beautiful view dish, but will also affect the appetite, increasing it.

Basic principles for decorating salads

To decorate the salad, use the same products that make up the salad or that go well with it. For example: Olivier salad, which includes meat, or fish - Mimosa can be decorated with potatoes, boiled carrots or an egg, for example, in the form of a lilac: we put the salad itself on a dish, we make lilac inflorescences from egg white dyed with beet juice, grated on a coarse grater , white - from just grated protein. Sprinkle with yolk and protein in a circle and spread sprigs of greenery between the inflorescences.

You can serve the salad in a beautiful vase, a glass or wooden bowl with original carvings around the edge, or in unusually shaped dishes. A salad served in pumpkin, melon or pineapple, peeled from pulp, will look unusual. This is sure to impress your guests and be remembered for a long time. Here's an easy-to-make pineapple kale salad recipe.

• red cabbage - 200 grams
• canned pineapples - 150 grams
• canned corn - 100 grams
• carrots - one piece
• cucumber - one piece
• lemon - one piece
• chopped walnuts - 50 grams
• mayonnaise - four tablespoons

Mix all the ingredients, season with mayonnaise and put in a pineapple previously peeled from pulp.

If several salads are served at the table at once, it is better to decorate them in different ways, but do not overdo it, excessive decoration can also worsen the appearance of the dish. The edge of the salad bowl should be free of food. Salads are decorated before serving, otherwise the decorations may lose their appearance and become ugly and unappetizing.

By mixing different products, you can get different colors. Here are some examples:

• burgundy - boiled beets
• red - tomatoes, sweet peppers, cranberries, pomegranate seeds
• pink - cranberry or beetroot juice
• yellow - sweet pepper, egg yolk dyed with saffron, rice, corn kernels
• orange - carrots, sweet peppers, tomato paste, carrot juice
• blue - rice or grated egg white dyed with raw red cabbage juice
• green - sweet pepper, dill, parsley, green peas, olives, pureed boiled spinach, cucumbers
• purple - red cabbage
• lilac - grated egg white, tinted with raw beetroot juice
• white - radish, radish, egg white, sour cream, potatoes, rice, whipped cream, cottage cheese

Decorative carving of fruits and vegetables - carving, has become popular in last years. Salad decorations can be made from different products, for example: cheese, if cut into pieces with a curly knife different shapes- triangles, squares, rhombuses and so on. On the peel of a lemon, you can make curly cuts, and then cut it into thin slices.

You can make bells from cucumbers, cut them into ribbons and make roses out of them, and water lilies out of cucumbers and eggs. Thick cucumbers can be turned into baskets and filled with sour berries or small radishes.

Tomatoes are useful as fly agarics and roses, and radishes for cones and tulips. Just keep them in cold water so that bitterness comes out. A chrysanthemum made from radish will look just amazing.

And the eggs! What only of them do not. Mushrooms, petals, flowers. They are rubbed, cut, cut. Here's how to decorate flower-shaped potato salad with them.
