How to decorate a New Year's salad, general principles

There are not so many ways to decorate salads. The easiest way is with puff snacks. Firstly, they look so beautiful in transparent portioned salad bowls. Secondly, puff salad can be laid out in any form, for example: a crescent, Christmas trees, a snowman, a heart. It will already look unusual and beautiful. In this case, the upper part can simply be decorated with a pattern or an inscription made of mayonnaise or other dressing sauce.

Penguins or snowmen made of eggs, olives and carrots strung on a toothpick will be a great decoration for your New Year's salad.

Christmas trees from vegetables, fruits and sweets.

But an example of New Year's carving from carrots is a Christmas cone.

And here is how the hostess decided to present it to the New Year's table in an original way, only instead of traditional cabbage or fresh cucumber, rice was added to the salad.

An equally original option for serving puff salad can be wrapping it in a roll. In this form, any snack will look very unusual, even an elementary herring under a fur coat. By the way, making a roll is quite easy if you collect the salad not on a plate, but on cling film.

"Bullfinch on a spruce branch", another original decoration for a New Year's salad of tomatoes, eggs, green onions and olives. On the second salad, a walnut was used as a cone, and a spruce twig was decorated with pomegranate seeds.

You can work a little more by preparing a decoration from halves of eggs and Korean carrots. Of these ingredients, it is easy to lay out, for example, a watch dial. But it's really quite simple. In fact, whole artistic compositions can be depicted from ordinary boiled eggs.

In general, the best option for decorating any salad is sprinkling. This design does not take much time, but the scope for imagination here is almost unlimited.

Here is an example of how you can decorate a fruit salad for the New Year. Such Christmas canapes can simply be laid out on the table as an appetizer.

However, it should be understood that the products that will be used to decorate the salad must be in harmony with the ingredients of the appetizer itself. In fact, it is not very good if a salad with red fish is decorated with pieces of sausage. Although there are exceptions. For example, balls made from low-fat cottage cheese mixed with chopped herbs and crushed garlic can be an excellent addition to a vegetable salad with tomatoes.

Christmas tree made from onion feathers.

An interesting design option is the unusual serving of the dish. Salads containing vegetables or fruits can be served in salad bowls made from the same vegetables. An excellent portioned salad bowl is obtained from a pod of sweet bell pepper or from half a large apple, if all the pulp is removed from it. A salad plate in the form of a boat can be made from a slice of cucumber. Well, half a pineapple will make a whole salad ship.

Bags of salad folded on one dish will look quite unusual. It's not hard to make them either. A couple of tablespoons of salad are laid out on pre-baked pancakes. The pancake is wrapped in a bag and tied with a green onion stalk.

Ideas for decorating New Year's salads 2020

Now it's time to go directly to the ideas. Of course, no one says that it is necessary to arrange salads in the ways described below. Here are just a few examples. So you should not limit your own imagination. But perhaps these options will become the basis for creating your own masterpieces.

And how do you like such a culinary masterpiece of boiled beets and carrots and pickles. The author of the salad is a true artist!

Decoration "Christmas balls"

An ordinary salad can be turned into a New Year's composition if you put a "spruce branch" of fresh herbs on its surface and decorate it with balls made from halves of cherry tomatoes and olives. Additional decorations can be cut from colored bell peppers. The background for such a "pattern" can serve as grated egg white or fresh cucumber. It all depends on what ingredients the salad itself consists of.

And you can make a composition of different salads on one dish, laying them out in the form of all the same Christmas balls. You can decorate them with boiled carrot figures or simply paint them with mayonnaise. Well, the spruce branch is again made from fresh herbs.

Decoration of New Year's salad "Candles"

Candles - perfectly emphasize the New Year's mood. So such a decoration would be quite appropriate. Almost any salad can be decorated in this way, since the main products for decoration are greens, cheese for sandwiches, and canned corn.

To begin with, the finished snack must be laid out in the form of a ring or garland. Lay thin sprigs of dill and rosemary on top. Sprinkle some corn over the greens. It will look good if the yellow corn kernels are "diluted" with a small amount of pomegranate seeds. And the finishing touch is evenly spaced candles made from rolled cheese. Flames can be made from boiled carrots, pieces of crab sticks, Korean-style carrots, or small pieces of sweet bell peppers.

You can simplify the task somewhat and simply “draw” a candle. To do this, the salad must be laid out in the form of a truncated triangle with a rounded base. Align the top of the salad and grease with mayonnaise. Sprinkle the entire surface with grated cheese, and in the upper part pour a small oval of grated egg white. A candle wick can be made from a piece of prunes, and a flame from cheese, egg yolk, boiled carrots and a piece of red bell pepper. Put the lower part of the composition with dill sprigs and decorate with a bow and balls, cut again from sweet pepper.

Christmas wreath

For a similar design, the salad should be laid out on a large plate in the shape of a ring. It is quite simple to depict this by placing a glass in the center of the plate, lay out the ingredients or a ready-made snack, and then remove the glass. The surface of the salad must be leveled and coated with mayonnaise.

Sprinkle the workpiece with finely chopped herbs and decorate with halves of cherry tomatoes. Imitation of ribbons tying the resulting wreath can be made from strips of daikon, radish or boiled carrots.

Salad decoration "Christmas bell"

You can decorate a salad on a dish in the form of a bell in almost the same way as in the previous case. First, the dish is laid out in the desired form, and then the salad is sprinkled with grated carrots. The drawing on the resulting bell is laid out with black caviar or finely chopped olives.

If desired, the composition can be supplemented with a bow of red bell pepper. Well, a spruce branch can be modeled from dill.

Decoration "Watermelon slice"

Not only fresh fruits can perfectly decorate the table, but also salads made in their form, for example: in the form of a slice of watermelon. This design option is well suited for vegetable or meat salads, the ingredients of which are cut into not very large pieces.

Put the finished salad in the form of a slice of watermelon, level the surface and grease it a little with mayonnaise. Cover the entire surface of the salad with a thin layer of carrots grated on a fine grater (both boiled and fresh root crops can be used). Make a watermelon crust from finely chopped greens, for example: dill, parsley and green onions. Pour a thin strip of grated cheese between the “crust” and “pulp” - this will make the appearance of the salad even more like a real watermelon. Well, small pieces of olives can become seeds.

Fish salad can also be presented in the form of a watermelon crust. But in this case, instead of carrots, it is better to use red caviar (and not necessarily real) or finely chopped red parts of crab sticks.

Decoration "Flowers and Bouquets"

That's what is usually missing on the New Year's table, so it's flowers. However, despite the frost outside the window, no one bothers to bring a little warmth to this wonderful winter holiday. Even if the flowers are just a decor for one of the New Year's salads.

Salad "Olivier"

Salad "Olivier" can hardly surprise anyone, but it is with us main snack any New Year's table. We love him so much precisely because he reminds us of our happy New Year holidays of childhood, and maybe because he appears on our table only once a year.

Although the salad was invented back in the 19th century for some glamorous restaurant, in Soviet times it was mercilessly processed due to the inability of ordinary people to get exquisite products that were originally used in it. For example, hazel grouses were replaced with the usual Doktorskaya sausage, capers with pickles, and crayfish necks were generally missed.

In Soviet times, Olivier was made with boiled sausage, but other options are known today. The basis for the modern salad still remains the same, with the exception of green peas, which were not in the original version. But the meat components can be very different: poultry, pork, beef, tongue(baked, boiled or fried). Sometimes instead of meat you can see options with salted red fish which is to the liking of many. There are many versions and the usual salad becomes unusual!

Beautiful options for serving salad on the table:

Very soon, that magical moment will come when fluffy snowflakes dance outside the window, the house is warm and cozy in a festive way, the delicate fresh aroma of a green beautiful Christmas tree reaches us, and we, as in childhood, in anticipation of the holiday, drag tangerines from the set table . And although there is still a lot of time until December 31, the anticipation of the holiday, buying gifts, choosing New Year's films, compiling a festive menu and searching for ideas for decorating dishes for the New Year have already captured us. While we are not yet tired of the pre-holiday bustle, while there is free time and mood to implement new ideas, we should try to prepare for what we usually don’t have time for on New Year’s Eve. For example, choose a few ideas for decorating dishes for the New Year.

Of course, it’s worth preparing in advance for decorating dishes for the New Year, and it’s not just about finding suitable ideas, but also buying everything you need to create beauty at the table. If you get involved in everyday worries and pre-holiday fuss, then on December 31 it may turn out that there is simply no time to select or buy decorations for all kinds of salads and desserts, and then you will have to improvise or use the following idea. New Year is, first of all, a winter holiday, and what winter does without snow! Snow can decorate your holiday table. As snow, you can use home-made icing sugar, for this, grind the most common sugar in a coffee grinder, or coconut flakes. Make real snowdrifts of powdered sugar on a dessert platter, put dessert on top and decorate with spices.

Speaking of spices! They can also be a wonderful decoration for New Year's dishes. A bunch of cinnamon sticks, a few vanilla pods and star anise will make a great addition to any dessert. They will not only decorate your festive table, but also fill the room with the aromas of the holiday. If you like the aroma of cinnamon or bay leaf and want the festive table to be fragrant not only with fresh tangerines, then use tall wide candles, fix the selected spices around them and tie them with hemp. When the candles are lit, the smell of spices will intensify. Fruit slices can also be garnished with spices, prepare more clove buds and decorate the orange with them. And then a whole bunch of New Year's flavors will hover over your table. If there is not enough time even for such a simple decoration of dishes for the New Year, but you still want beauty, prepare more star anise stars in advance, it will come in handy just for such cases with a total lack of time. Just lay the stars on the edge of the dishes, and any dish will immediately take on the most festive and New Year's look.

Decorating dishes for the New Year can be very difficult. For example, when it comes to cookies or slicing. If the cookies are sweet and you baked them yourself, then the task is simplified, because you can decorate it with some kind of confectionery topping, just put it on a dish and get a fragrant decoration of the festive table. But with a saltine cracker and sliced ​​\u200b\u200bthis trick will not work. And here, as always, greens come in handy, a decorative bow that can be tied from a red satin ribbon, a handful of berries, for example, raspberries, lingonberries or any other to your taste, as well as two types of cheese of different colors and shapes for cookies in the form of stars. Put a wreath-shaped slice or cracker on a round dish, decorate the edges with herbs. Cut the cheese into thin slices, use cookie cutters to cut out the desired figures and decorate the dish with them. Lay out the berry and put a bow on top. Your Christmas wreath is ready for your holiday table!

If you like the theme of the New Year's wreath as a decoration, then sandwiches or profiteroles can be decorated in a similar way. You can’t do without greenery in a wreath, so this option for decorating dishes for the New Year is only suitable for unsweetened foods. Prepare profiteroles, use the filling based on cream cheese. Put cream cheese on top of the profiteroles, decorate them with herbs or green vegetables, finely chop the red bell pepper and add it to the greens. Arrange the profiteroles on a dish in a circle. In this case, a ribbon bow will not work, it will just get dirty with cream cheese and will not look appetizing at all, so you can either do without a bow altogether or cut it out of bell pepper and decorate with greens. You will get a beautiful and edible decoration for the festive table.

The main symbol of the upcoming holiday is the Christmas tree. Most people, when decorating a house for the New Year, first of all decorate a Christmas tree. Someone chooses a fragrant natural forest beauty, someone is limited to artificial, but it also happens that for one reason or another there is no Christmas tree in the house for the main winter holiday. But what is the New Year without a Christmas tree? If it is not possible to decorate a festive tree at home, then it is worth considering at least decorating dishes for the New Year in the form of the main symbol of the holiday. To create such a decoration, you will need muffins, fresh strawberries, protein or buttercream, green food coloring, a confectionery syringe, sweets such as sea pebbles or M&M's, and confectionery in the form of stars. Add the dye to the cream, mix thoroughly and put it in a confectionery syringe. Squeeze a little cream onto the muffins and set the strawberries on it, gently holding the berry, apply the cream around so that it looks like a cone, decorate the future Christmas trees with sweets and set the stars from the confectionery sprinkles. Miniature Christmas trees for your New Year's table are ready!

The decoration method described above requires a lot of time, ingredients and strength, but the most important thing is that it must be prepared on the eve of the feast so that nothing has time to fall off, melt and not live up to the holiday. If you do not hope to have free time on December 31, then you should take care of decorating dishes for the New Year in advance. For example, you can bake and decorate holiday cookies with icing in advance. You will need shortcrust pastry, Christmas tree cookie cutters, white and green icing, chocolate, and a pastry syringe or baking paper bag. Roll out the dough thinly and use the molds to cut out the Christmas trees. Bake cookies in the oven. When the finished cookies have cooled slightly, decorate them with white and green icing. At the same time, you do not need to try to make a neat, even drawing; slight negligence will only decorate such cookies. Melt the chocolate in a water bath, transfer it to a pastry syringe and decorate the Christmas tree with chocolate toys.

Continuing the theme of Christmas trees, one cannot fail to mention fruit trees, which can be both an excellent decoration for dishes for the New Year, and a completely independent dish. New Year's Eve involves active communication, including at the table, so it makes no sense to make high decorations, but miniature fruit trees placed on the table will be very useful. To make a fruit tree, you will need toothpicks, a knife, fruit and a berry. You can use pineapple, apples, pears, peaches, strawberries, cherries, etc. As a basis, it is better to use a large apple. Cut off the top of it and place it cut side down on a dish to make the apple more stable. Cut the fruits into cubes and attach them to an apple with toothpicks, decorate everything with a berry, also planted on toothpicks, and do not forget about a star that can be cut from a pineapple or an apple. To prevent the fruit from darkening, sprinkle the resulting tree with lemon juice.

Decorating dishes for the New Year can be interesting and original. So, instead of traditional candles, a birthday cake can be decorated with something New Year's, but at the same time unusual. For example, reindeer from Santa's team! To create such a decoration, you will need braid, thin wooden skewers, marshmallows, chocolate, crackers and white and red sugar icing. Melt chocolate in a water bath, put marshmallows on a skewer and dip in chocolate. Immediately make kerker cones and set on a foam or floral sponge stand to allow the chocolate to harden. Repeat the process for the remaining marshmallow pieces. Place the resulting blanks in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours. Then, using a pastry syringe and icing sugar, draw the eyes and noses of the deer. Tie ribbons and decorate the New Year's cake.

Strawberries in December are, of course, an expensive pleasure, but such a decoration of dishes for the New Year will definitely not go unnoticed. Frozen strawberries are not suitable for such a decoration; the berry should be fresh, fragrant and keep its shape well. In addition to strawberries, you will need a pastry syringe, a sharp knife, whipped cream, protein or oil cream and sesame seeds. Cut off the tip of the strawberry, using a pastry syringe, fill the berry with whipped cream or other cream. Make a hole in the cut end and fill with cream from the inside. Gently attach the cut end to the strawberry, being careful not to damage the whipped cream. Put the sesame seeds on the cream as eyes. It turned out fragrant, tasty and original decoration, suitable for almost any dish.

Coming up with the decoration of dishes for the New Year, one should not forget about glasses, because not a single feast can do without them. It is not at all necessary to decorate the drinks themselves, especially since any edible decoration will definitely affect their taste, but you can create a festive atmosphere by decorating empty glasses. The decoration should be bright, fragrant and New Year's, which means that the combination of rosemary and cranberries will come in handy. Pierce the cranberries with a toothpick, remove the toothpick and thread the rosemary sprig through. Such a decoration, thanks to rosemary, reminiscent of a spruce branch, looks bright and festive in a New Year's way.

Every housewife wants her festive table to look beautiful and to make it clear at first glance why all this beauty was created. New Year is such a holiday when you can’t put a simple dish with hot, salad or dessert on the table. Each dish should look not only appetizing, but also create a festive atmosphere. The original decoration of dishes for the New Year will help make your festive table bright, and the celebration unforgettable, because each decorated dish will surely attract everyone's attention, and will certainly become an object of admiration for guests. Let the process of preparing for the New Year's feast bring only positive emotions, creative success and original ideas to you! Happy New Year!
