Cooked with love, originally decorated, they can be very spectacular.

Originally decorated New Year's salad looks spectacular

But on such a common ingredient as chicken meat, in the upcoming New Year's holiday taboo. It is known, after all, that “chickens in cabbage soup” does not want to get at all - you should not annoy the Rooster, lose his favor. Of course, this does not mean that it is necessary to completely abandon hearty meat snacks: there are pork, veal, rabbit meat. In salad recipes for the New Year, it is quite possible to replace chicken with one of these types of meat.

New Year's candles from cheese

As for salad dressings, they should be natural, based on vegetable oils, preferably without the use of mayonnaise. If mayonnaise is so loved that a salad is unthinkable without it, it is better to prepare homemade one in advance. With modern kitchen appliances, this is not difficult at all.

5. After completing the preparatory operations, you can begin layer-by-layer assembly of the salad. Place half of the beets on the bottom of the salad bowl, flavor it with large drops or strips of mayonnaise. Mayonnaise should not be smeared, the layers of Principessa should not be compacted - it is supposed to be airy.
6. Place banana cubes, chopped garlic, squeezed raisins on top of the beets.
