Children's New Year's table: dishes and ideas. New Year's recipes: children's table, quick and tasty

/ New Year's table for a child

A festive dinner is a headache for any housewife. And if children are growing up in your house, then this problem becomes much deeper: you need to make the menu as varied and tasty as possible for the baby. We will tell you how to combine business with pleasure and, when the clock strikes, celebrate the year with health benefits and joy for the stomach.

From this article you will learn how to choose a New Year's menu for children.

Taste of the holiday

When choosing food for your baby, you should be guided by basic principles. The setting should be beautiful, the dishes should be tasty, the food should be healthy. All this does not mean that you will have to set another table and cook separately for the children. Quite the opposite - a family evening is perfect for using all your culinary ingenuity and arranging a versatile meal.

The main difference between the children's menu and the adult menu is the original presentation and harmless composition of the products. The usual chicken baked in the oven can become a hit with a child who is indifferent to poultry, if it is served properly.

You should make sure that there are salads, appetizers, main courses, fruits, vegetables and dessert on the table. Dishes can be taken out one at a time - this will make it easier to preserve their appearance. Try not to rush, otherwise the child’s body may not be able to tolerate the belly celebration, and the fun will result in the most unpleasant consequences.

Since New Year's dinner usually occurs later than everyday meals, you need to make sure that your child does not go hungry before it. At the usual time (6-7 pm) it is better to have a small snack.

The main threat to the baby’s body is foods that cause allergies. Oranges, tangerines, sweets, red caviar, seafood, nuts, carbonated drinks and others can become a serious obstacle for the baby. So don't give the biggest gift and choose recipes wisely, especially if your child is prone to allergic reactions and has immunity problems.

Thus, it is better to replace carbonated drinks with natural fruit drinks, compotes or juices without added sugar, sweet desserts with fruit salad with yogurt dressing, and treasured candies from under the Christmas tree should generally be given on a schedule. You don’t want to enter the new year with a rash, dermatitis and other symptoms, do you?

Pay attention to the quality of the products from which you are going to prepare dishes for the festive table. Very often, during the New Year rush, supermarkets try to sell slightly spoiled goods to customers under the guise of being completely fresh. Don’t be fooled by tricks - it’s better to buy meat, fish and poultry in trusted places, be sure to look at the production date and re-check the purchased products after returning from the store. Agree, poisoning is not the best result of a feast.

New Year is a holiday of childhood. In search of ideas on how to celebrate this night, what interesting gifts to give and how to create a menu, we somehow return our thoughts to the times when we were children, waited with bated breath for gifts under the tree, believed in Santa Claus and miracles...

Let's not forget about this in the bustle of New Year's Eve. When inviting guests, think about the children - with whom will they celebrate this holiday? When thinking through the New Year's Eve scenario, don't forget about the kids - what games will you organize for them? When deciding what to prepare for the holiday table, try for the small participants in the celebration - the New Year's menu for children should be such that they are happy and know for sure: there is a fairy tale!

Festive ideas for the children's table are as abundant as a child's imagination. This is only the smallest part of our collection.

Lavash snack for children's New Year's table "Christmas trees"

Let there be... Christmas trees in the center of the children's New Year's table! Many, many Christmas trees - shaggy and prickly, cold and hot, bright and fragrant. No ideas? Start with the simplest thing: fold the lavash leaves into triangles, fill them with something tasty and healthy - and voila!, the Christmas trees have grown and are asking to be eaten.

Ingredients:

5 round sheets of pita bread;
150 g cream cheese;
10 slices of lightly salted salmon;
a few leaves of green salad;
bunch of dill.

Cut the lavash sheets in half - you will get 10 semicircles.

Grease each piece with cream cheese, place a leaf of lettuce and a slice of fish on top. Visually determine the center of the straight line along which the pita bread was divided, and begin to fold triangles, the vertex of which is this central point. As a rule, 4-5 bends are obtained.

Place the finished triangles on a dish (an oblong plate with a “forest” growing on it looks good), put a small layer of cream cheese on top of the pita bread, and sprinkle with finely chopped dill pine needles.

If desired, “Christmas trees” can be decorated with pomegranate seeds, sweet peas or milk corn.

Option for decorating Christmas trees: cream cheese + avocado, turned into paste, and pieces of bright sweet pepper.

You don’t have to buy lavash; you can make it at home - see.

Christmas tree sandwiches for little ones

Children often perceive the world through pictures - and the brighter they are, the more fun and meaningful they are for the child, the better the information about the world around them will fit into little blond and dark-haired heads. Are you planning to prepare profiteroles with salmon mousse for the New Year's table? Adults will probably appreciate it, but what about kids? I suggest making funny Christmas tree sandwiches for them: the base will be the same mousse, however, the overall picture will compare favorably with the “adult” version.

Ingredients for 3 sandwiches:

6 slices of white bread;
1 boiled carrot;
a piece of bell pepper for decoration;
5 tbsp. l. soft cottage cheese or cream cheese;
50 g boiled salmon;
salt to taste;
a small piece of celery stalk.

Mash the fish with a fork until smooth, add half the cottage cheese or cheese, add salt and stir again.

Cut off the crusts of the bread and shape each slice into a triangle. Make sure that all the cut pieces are the same size.

Spread fish cream on three slices of bread and cover with the remaining three.

We cut out decorations from carrots and peppers - Christmas balls, a star, garlands. We “decorate” the Christmas tree, do not forget to install a “trunk” from a piece of celery at the base of the tree.

Christmas tree garnish – cauliflower and broccoli with béchamel sauce

Traditionally and out of habit, we cook potatoes as a side dish, which no one traditionally eats on New Year’s Eve. Let's try to deviate from the rules? Healthy vegetables, wrapped in a delicate milky sauce, laid out in the shape of a shaggy spruce - in my opinion, such a dish will not only decorate the holiday table, but also perfectly diversify the menu, creating the necessary balance between heavy appetizers and substantial dishes.

Children perceive everything unusual with delight - and even the hated cabbage, which on ordinary days they refuse to eat, will become a holiday and a reason for joy for them if the vegetables are served in an original and non-standard way.

Ingredients:

400 g cauliflower;
400 g broccoli;
50 g hard cheese;
1 tbsp. l. flour;
1 glass of milk;
50 g butter;
nutmeg, salt to taste;
cherry tomatoes for serving.

Boil broccoli and cauliflower alternately in salted water. Grease the baking dish with a small piece of butter, put the rest of the butter in a well-heated frying pan (heat is minimal), sprinkle with flour, stir until smooth and add milk a little at a time, each time stirring the sauce until it has an even, smooth texture. Add a pinch of nutmeg, add cheese, stir. Turn off the fire.

Place broccoli in the center of the mold, giving the inflorescences the shape of a Christmas tree. Don't forget about the barrel. Fill the remaining space with cauliflower. Pour the sauce over the vegetables and bake in an oven preheated to 200 degrees for about 15 minutes. When serving, garnish with cherry tomatoes.

Fruit snacks on skewers

I have a suggestion - let's decorate the Christmas tree! Well, just don’t laugh sarcastically, listen to the end.

You can buy an inexpensive cone-shaped foam base at flower shops. If you don’t have time to look for something ready-made, roll a piece of whatman paper into a cone, cut off the excess along the base, and blow foam inside. After drying, again remove what is unnecessary - and you will have the same wonderful base that can be decorated! Cover it with a clean sheet of green paper (foil is a good substitute: simple and elegant) and get creative.

Thread pieces of fruit, cubes of delicious cheeses, shrimp and olives, grapes and ham onto skewers, and insert the sharp end of the skewers into the prepared cone base, forming “Christmas tree needles.” This table decoration will attract a lot of admiring glances, no doubt about it!

One side of the “Christmas tree” can be made for children (pieces of banana and apples, slices of tangerine and mango, cheese like “Russian” and cubes of homemade boiled pork), the second side can be decorated for adults (dor blue and brie, smoked ham and thin slices of salami, pickled olives and stuffed chili peppers).

This Christmas tree is made of fruits, but the “needles” can be any kind of food.

Cake “Woodpile” - a classic for children’s New Year’s table

A holiday without a cake is not a holiday at all, and don’t argue! Even if you are indifferent to sweets, do not forget that children are still waiting for dessert, so I recommend paying special attention to this moment. Let the fashionable “Sacher” and the popular “Esterházy” stand aside, today is the time for delicious homemade baking according to grandmother’s recipes.

In our family, for the New Year, we traditionally bake the “Woodpile” cake - crispy “firewood” with sour cherries, carefully covered with sweet sour cream “snow”. And tell me that your children will not appreciate the fairy tale about how forest animals prepare firewood for Santa Claus, knowing that before the New Year he has a lot of things to do, that he is busy selecting gifts for each child, that after the chimes strike his 12 times on the night from December 31 to January 1, the old wizard comes to his house, where no one has lit the stove... and there is nothing to light it with. Forest animals are sympathetic people: they worry about grandpa, that’s why they collect firewood for him! Maybe you can try the cake for now, and in the morning while walking you will also think about someone else? And not necessarily about Santa Claus - birds, for example, also need attention!

Ingredients for the dough:
250 g butter;
200 g sour cream;
3.5 cups flour;
1/3 tsp. salt;
1/3 tsp. soda

Filling ingredients:
1000 g cherries, canned in their own juice (can be replaced with frozen berries).

Ingredients for cream:
700 ml fat sour cream;
2 cups powdered sugar.

From these components, knead a soft dough that does not stick to your hands. We divide it into 15 parts, roll each ball into a long rectangular strip about 5 cm wide. We lay out the cherries in a row along the length of the entire strip, roll them into a tube and pinch the edges. In this way we form all 15 “logs”.

Bake the tubes at 180 degrees for about 25 minutes. After cooling, remove from the baking sheet.

Beat the sour cream with powdered sugar and begin assembling the cake.

Place 5 “logs” on a fairly large dish. Pour a little cream and place 4 “logs” on top. Cream, then 3 tubes, cream, 2 tubes, cream, last tube. Fill the cake with the remaining cream and leave to soak. During the soaking process, scoop up the sour cream from below with a spoon and periodically pour the cake over the top.

Before serving, the Woodpile can be sprinkled with grated chocolate if desired.

Cupcakes “Christmas trees” - cream needles

Well, based on the principle that there can never be too much sweets on a children’s holiday table (and not only on a children’s table), I suggest whipping up some quick cupcakes - funny cupcakes with a huge top of cream. It has been tested more than once: the kids will devour such baked goods in an instant, so don’t hesitate and be sure to bake!

Under each cupcake you can put a piece of leaf with a number that will determine the number of the forfeit; based on the results of the tea party, the children will be happy to do the tasks that you prepare for them in advance: number one is to go to the neighbors for snowdrops for soup (and don’t forget to congratulate them on the upcoming holiday!), number two - call your godmother and ask if she forgot to turn off the gas under the saucepan with milk, number three - depict a cuttlefish with facial expressions and gestures, postures and movements, and so on.

Ingredients:

2 eggs;
100 g chocolate;
70 g butter;
1/2 tsp. salt;
1/2 tsp. soda;
1/2 tsp. baking powder;
150 g flour;
150 g sugar;
200 ml milk.

Ingredients for cream:

150 g white chocolate;
200 g butter;
200 g powdered sugar;
2 tbsp. l. spinach juice.

For decoration:

strawberries by the number of cupcakes;
small sugar figures of different colors (it is convenient to use those offered in Easter sets).

Separate the yolks from the whites.
Sift together flour, salt, soda, baking powder.
Beat softened butter with sugar, add yolks. Gently pour in the melted chocolate, continuing to whisk.

Add half of the flour mixture and stir. Pour in half the milk and stir. Stir the remaining flour. Stir the remaining milk until smooth.

Beat the whites until they form a stable foam; using a wooden or silicone spatula, carefully fold them into the dough.
Using a spoon, spoon the dough into the molds and fill them 2/3 full. Bake in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for about 25 minutes.

After complete cooling, we begin growing Christmas trees.
Beat softened butter with powdered sugar and spinach juice until fluffy. Add melted chocolate, continuing to beat until smooth.

Glue a strawberry in the center of each cupcake (dropping a small amount of cream). We transfer the remaining cream into a pastry envelope and, using a suitable nozzle, decorate the cupcakes with “needles”, starting from the base of the strawberry “Christmas tree” and moving upward in a spiral. Decorate with sugar stars-hearts-snowflakes. Don't forget about forfeits!

Porridge with reindeer sausages

I propose to declare breakfast on January 1st a holiday. For us adults, a bowl of yesterday’s Olivier and a couple of dried sandwiches with caviar seem like a completely worthy option after New Year’s Eve, but for some reason children are delighted with completely different things. For example, sausages - due to their low availability (I don’t buy them!), my child seriously considers them a holiday food! I suggest pampering a person - a couple of times a year is possible.

Ingredients:

1 sausage;
1/3 cup rice;
1 cherry tomato;
1 tbsp. l. butter;
2 peas or corn kernels;
salt to taste.

Boil the rice in a sufficient amount of salted water, drain the water and rinse the cereal with boiling water (we are not cooking porridge, but just rice as a side dish, so you can resort to this method).

Clean the sausage and cut it in half. On both sides (rounded) we make longitudinal cuts approximately half the depth of the sausage (more precisely, half the sausage). Lightly fry in butter - the cut “horns” will move apart under the influence of temperature, acquiring the desired shape.

Place the rice in a deep plate. We insert the sausages on one side of the plate, submerging them slightly into the grain - you get deer horns. Place a cherry tomato (nose) in the middle, and use peas to mark the eyes.

An excellent holiday breakfast is ready - all that remains is to tell how long the deer ran to your child, jumped over hummocks, fought with the winter winds, carrying another tiny gift from Santa Claus through the snowdrifts. Well, and, of course, give them a box with a puzzle or a set of colored pencils.

Sugar cookies “Deer horns”

For me, January 1 has always been an unfavorite day: the adults were sleeping, I wasn’t allowed to walk around the snowy city alone, I watched beautiful snowflakes only through the window, and all day long I had to nibble on candy from gift sets and lazily search for cartoons on TV. Remembering very well my first days of the new year, I suggest organizing a different scenario for your children: getting up together, having a delicious breakfast, sitting in the kitchen and playing with dough.

Ingredients:

1.5 cups flour;
150 g butter;
1 cup of sugar;
1 egg;
1/3 tsp. salt;
1/3 tsp. soda

For decoration:

30 ml cream with 33% fat content;
50 g chocolate;
multi-colored round jelly beans like “M&M’s”.

Grind butter at room temperature with sugar, salt and soda, add an egg and, adding flour, knead a soft, elastic dough that does not stick to your hands.

Roll out the dough into a layer 3-4 mm thick, cut out cookies using a fairly large glass or round cookie cutter. Place the rounds on a baking sheet (no need to grease them with anything), bake the cookies for about 15 minutes at 200 degrees.

Decorate the cooled cookies. Melt the chocolate and cream, pour the ganache into a ready-made or homemade cornet (or a regular medical syringe - once you get used to it, you can work with it). At the top of the deer’s “head” we draw small deer horns using chocolate mixture. Glue a nose (colored round candy) onto a drop of chocolate in the middle. We designate the eyes (with ganache). Let it dry - and we begin a competition: whose deer can quickly reach the mouth and disappear into its depths!

Set the New Year's children's table fabulously! Wishing you children's imagination and happiness in the New Year!

The pre-New Year bustle is the lot of every woman, and this especially applies to mothers. Agree that you really want to pamper your beloved husband and children with something unusual and delicious! And if our men are ready to devour all the dishes on the New Year's table, then such a trick will not work with children.

In order not to once again persuade your beloved child to eat “a couple more spoons” and not to watch the sad picking of cutlery in salads, you need to think over a children's New Year's menu, and we will be happy to give you a couple of great ideas. In this article you will find answers to questions about how and what to cook for your child for the New Year, as well as a hypoallergenic, but no less appetizing, table for sensitive kids.

Regardless of the age of the child and the products used, the dishes should be tasty, healthy, beautiful and interesting for the child.

New Year's menu for babies up to one year old

It’s unlikely that your imagination will run wild here, because until their first birthday, babies eat mainly mother’s milk or formula, and try “adult” foods only as an introduction to food and to pamper their taste buds. It is completely pointless to cook separately for such a baby; he is unlikely to appreciate your efforts.

But to interest and accustom your little one to a festive meal, you can make a small and, of course, healthy dish especially for him. As a rule, small desserts are made for such little ones, which they will surely like.

New Year's cake made from baby food

You will need:

Children's cottage cheese, 1 pack. (possible with additives);

Children's fruit puree, 1 small jar;

Children's cookies, 1 pack (Bondi, Hainz);

Milk;

Optionally, finely chopped fruits or berries (banana, cherry, strawberry).

Mix a package of cottage cheese and a jar of fruit puree until a paste forms. Place a layer of cookies (dip in warmed milk first). Enough 6 cookies per layer. Apply a layer of curd and puree slurry on top with a small spoon or silicone brush. Next is another layer of cookies. You can make 3 layers of cookies and 3 layers of cottage cheese, the last one should be cottage cheese. For beauty, the remaining mixture can be beautifully poured onto the edges to create drips. Or you can make a “fence” from cookies placed vertically. Place pieces of berries or fruits in the middle of the “cream”, if desired.

Fruit jelly

You will need:

Compote or juice, 2 glasses;

Gelatin, 25 g;

Fruits or berries (optional);

Sugar, 1 tsp;

Molds.

Dilute the gelatin with juice and leave for one hour so that the gelatin swells. Add sugar to the mixture and heat over low heat, stirring until completely dissolved. Pour the liquid into molds and put in a cool place. The jelly is ready! You can decorate with small pieces of fruit, or you can add them directly to the jelly when pouring into molds. To make the jelly multi-colored, you need to make a jelly liquid from different juices according to the principle described above and pour it in layers.

Festive table for children from 1 to 3 years old

At this age, children are learning new capabilities of their body, and they have more than enough energy, not a moment of rest, constantly in motion and games. Poor moms and dads just can’t sit calmly and quietly at the holiday table, so it’s worth trying hard to interest the little fidget.

But the trouble is, the baby is unlikely to sit for at least half an hour at the table, but there is a way out in this case too! Surely, among the children's furniture, the little one has his own table and chair, so why not “cover the clearing” there? A mischievous child can decide for himself (independent and big!) during a break between games what to snack on from the assortment of such beautiful dishes. We offer children's New Year's recipes appropriate for this age category.

Fruit mousse

You will need:

Slicing fruits and berries;

Yogurt (can be homemade, without additives);

Sugar, 2 tsp.

Place the pieces of fruit in a beautiful bowl and fill with yogurt. If the yogurt is unsweetened, then add sugar first and mix.

Vinaigrette for the little ones

You will need:

Large grater;

Potatoes (1 piece);

Carrots (1 piece);

Beetroot (1 piece);

? Fresh cucumber (1 piece);

? Green onions (a couple of feathers);

Egg (1 piece);

? Vegetable oil (sunflower, olive, corn).

Boil small potatoes, carrots, beets and eggs and grate or finely chop into cubes. Chop a fresh cucumber and a couple of green onions. Mix everything and add a small amount of oil.

Stuffed tomatoes

What you will need:

Large ripe tomatoes (2-4 pcs);

? Rice (quarter cup);

? Chicken breast (1 piece);

? Greens (several sprigs);

? Cheese (for decoration);

? Butter (1 tsp);

Salt (to taste);

Sour cream.

Cut off the stem of the tomatoes and scoop out the pulp with a teaspoon. Boil rice and chicken in salted water. Place a little finely chopped boiled fillet on the bottom of each tomato, add a little butter on top, then lay out the rice and sprinkle with grated hard cheese on top. Place the tomatoes in a mold or baking sheet and bake in the oven or microwave for no more than 5-10 minutes. Sprinkle the finished tomatoes with herbs. You can make Santa Clauses out of tomatoes by painting a beard with thick sour cream.

New Year's menu for children over 3 years old

Children who have crossed the three-year mark can include almost all food products in the menu, which means that the children's New Year's table is selected from a much larger assortment. It becomes possible to choose both hot dishes and salads with appetizers, as well as desserts. One thing a caring mother can always remember: it’s worth cooking a little of everything; it’s unlikely that your baby will gobble it all up in one go.

Chicken rolls with creamy sauce in the oven

Most children, and parents too, love chicken fillet for its tenderness and juiciness; chicken breast dishes are prepared quite quickly, but no less tasty. Small teeth can easily chew through a juicy baked breast, and if it also looks beautiful, mmmmmm! Lunch!

What you will need:

? Chicken breasts (2-4 pieces);

Cheese (100 g);

Greens (bunch);

? Butter (1 tbsp);

Cream 20%;

Salt (to taste);

Egg (1 piece).

Lightly pound the chicken fillet and add salt. Finely chop the greens, grate the cheese, melt a little butter, combine into one mass and place on the fillet. Roll up the roll, if necessary, tie it with a rope so that it does not unfold during cooking. Beat a raw egg, mix with cream and add a little grated cheese. Pour over the top of the rolls and bake in the oven until done.

Edible snowmen

Your child will be delighted with this simple dish in an original design! It turns out that snowmen can be sculpted not only from snow mass.

What you will need:

Boiled potatoes (1 medium potato);

? Hard cheese (100 g);

? Processed cheese (1 package);

? Soft curd cheese (1 package);

? Boiled egg (1-2 pcs);

Salt (to taste);

? Carrots (for decoration);

? Mayonnaise (sour cream) (1 tbsp);

? Greens (small bunch).

Grate the potatoes and egg on a fine grater, mix with curd cheese. Finely grate the cheeses and add to the mixture, add salt. It is necessary to achieve a thick, homogeneous mass, so add just a little mayonnaise or sour cream. It is better if the mayonnaise is homemade with the addition of lemon juice instead of vinegar. From the resulting mass we make balls - the body of a snowman and, if there is a lot of mass, cones - Christmas trees. We form snowmen and Christmas trees on a platter, which can be placed on top with greenery. We make hats and noses for snowmen from slices of boiled carrots; eyes and buttons can be made from pieces of olives.

Gingerbread cookies - New Year's yummy!

A delicious dessert will help complement the children's New Year's table. I would like it to be associated with the New Year and a time of magic and miracles; fragrant ginger cookies will come in handy!

What you will need:

Dry ginger (powder) (1 tbsp);

? Ginger root (1 tbsp);

? Butter (quarter stick);

Flour (300g);

Sugar (3 tbsp);

Egg (1 piece);

Cocoa (1 tbsp);

Cinnamon (1 tsp.);

Soda (1/2 tsp);

? Ground cloves (1/2 tsp.).

Mix the dough. Beat the egg with sugar and butter. Gradually add bulk ingredients: flour, cocoa, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, soda. Knead the dough and put it in a cold place for half an hour. After that, we roll out the dough into a thin cake (you shouldn’t make it too thin, but too thick will not be useful, the ideal option is up to 1 cm). We take any molds and cut out the figures.

If you have icing, you can decorate the resulting cookies with it. Place a baking sheet with cookies in an oven preheated to 200°C and bake for a maximum of 15 minutes. You can sprinkle powdered sugar on top before serving to decorate.

New Year's recipes for children with food allergies

Strong allergens among the foods we are familiar with are: chicken meat, chocolate, dairy products, nuts, citrus fruits, eggs and gluten-containing products. It is very difficult to create a table for children with food sensitivities, and a full children's New Year's menu for mothers seems like an impossible dream. But this is the New Year, dreams come true, and miracles happen on every corner! We offer several recipes for a New Year's hypoallergenic table.

Turkey with vegetables in the sleeve

Turkey is considered a non-allergenic meat along with rabbit, and its combinations with various vegetables will help make the dish tasty and juicy. The dish can be changed depending on the presence of a reaction to one or another component. It is important to bake it in the sleeve, so the meat will turn out juicy and you will lick your fingers!

What you will need:

Turkey fillet (thigh);

Zucchini (1 piece);

Carrots (1 piece);

Broccoli (1 piece);

? Green beans (1 piece);

Festive ideas for the children's table are as abundant as a child's imagination. This is only the smallest part of our collection.

Children's salad "Joyful Doggie"

Any holiday is an occasion to prepare not only the desired dishes for guests, but also to please your own children with something tasty. It’s easy to achieve your goal by preparing a very light and incredibly tasty winter salad.

Required ingredients:

800 grams of fresh or frozen mushrooms;
300 grams of boiled sausage;
8 chicken eggs;
8 potatoes;
4 carrots;
1 can of canned peas or corn;
a couple of tablespoons of low-fat mayonnaise or sour cream;
salt and pepper to taste.

Cooking steps

1. Vegetables should be boiled in their skins, rinsed with cold water, peeled and finely cut into cubes.
2. The eggs are also hard-boiled, after which the yolks are separated from the whites. The yellow part crumbles into the salad.
3. Chopped greens, peas or corn are added to the total mass.
4. This also includes a few spoons of sour cream or mayonnaise and salt. Now all the ingredients are mixed together.
5. A sleeping dog is formed from the finished base. Boiled sausage and egg white are used to “fur” the dog, “coloring” it in a spotted color. Before this, of course, both ingredients will have to be grated on a fine grater.
6. Olives are used as the eyes and nose, while the ideal tongue would be a small piece of sausage.

Salad "Bunch of Grapes"

An excellent meat dish that has become a favorite New Year's Eve treat for many guests.

Required ingredients:

300 grams of ham;
300 grams of grapes;
200 grams of hard cheese;
100 grams of rye crackers;
3 chicken eggs;
a couple of spoons of mayonnaise;
salt and pepper to taste.

Cooking steps

1. The ham is chopped into strips, and the cheese and hard-boiled eggs are grated on a coarse grater.
2. Crackers, mayonnaise, salt and pepper are added to the total mass.
3. The finished base is laid out on a beautiful plate and decorated with halves of grapes on top.

The salad is served to the table immediately after its preparation, before the crackers have time to get wet. By the way, instead of grapes, you can use olives or black olives, lay out the ingredients themselves in layers and coat them with your own homemade sauce.

Lavash snack for children's New Year's table "Christmas trees"

Ingredients:

5 round sheets of pita bread;
150 g cream cheese;
