"New Year's Gift"

Any salad can be decorated as a New Year's gift. Place all the ingredients in a rectangular shape - in layers or mixed. Using a fine mesh, pour mayonnaise on all sides and on top so that the top layer of boiled egg white or grated hard cheese sticks better. We make a gift bow from thinly sliced ​​red fish, bacon or boiled carrots. You will immediately want to untie this bow and eat it!

Upgrade ingredients:

1. Egg (white) – 5 pcs.
2. Carrots – 3-4 pcs.
3. Lightly salted red fish – 150 g.

If you are visiting for the New Year, be sure to prepare such a gift for the hosts. They will certainly be delighted with the unusual dish delivered straight to the festive table.

1. Prepare some salads ahead of time so you don't have to spend all day in the kitchen on December 31st.
2. If time is running out and you need to quickly prepare a snack, you can use canned ingredients instead of boiled ones.
3. Place the chopped greens in a dish just before serving.
4. Always cool vegetables thoroughly before cutting. If you cut them hot, the salad runs the risk of turning into mush.
5. Try to cut vegetables into the same small cubes or strips, it’s more beautiful and convenient to eat. The smaller the cubes, the more different ingredients will hit the fork at once. It is believed that the correct cube for cutting should be the size of a pea.
6. It is better to salt and season some salads just before serving so that they do not release juice and become sour.
