Especially for this occasion website I found 13 interesting and uncomplicated, and most importantly - new New Year's recipes!
Mexican salsa
Salsa is a spicy sauce that is very similar to salad. The tangy dressing makes this tomato sauce a great addition to meat.
Italian pasta salad
Cold pasta salad is a classic banquet dish, popular all over the world - from the USA to Italy. It is best to choose medium-sized pasta for this salad: fusilli (spirals), farfalle (bows) or perline (small shells). Pasta of different colors is perfect.
Salmon and lavash appetizer
Red fish and winter holidays seem to be made for each other! A delicious salmon appetizer - an excellent replacement for sandwiches.
This quantity makes approximately 49 pieces.
For spread:
- 250 g cream cheese
- 1/2 cup sour cream or yogurt for salads
- 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
- zest of 1 large lemon
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/4 cup dill
Other ingredients:
- 3 thin pita breads or tortillas (about 23 cm in diameter)
- 350 g smoked or salted salmon
- a little butter
- Mix the ingredients for the spread. Spread half of it onto the pita bread, keeping in mind that our sandwich will end up square and the edges of the pita bread will be cut off.
- Place half of the salmon on top.
- Take another pita bread and brush it with a thin layer of oil - this will help the salmon “stick” to the pita bread. Cover the salmon layer with oil side down. Spread the spread on top, place the salmon and another pita bread spread with butter (butter inside).
- Wrap everything in film, press it down with a flat heavy object, put it in the refrigerator for 4 hours, or overnight.
- Use a serrated knife to trim off any excess pita bread and shape the resulting piece into a square shape.
- Cut the resulting square into 6-7 strips, make them into squares. Before serving, pierce each mini-sandwich with a toothpick and garnish with dill.
Unusual presentation of sausage
Slicing salami or other sausage is a familiar part of the New Year's table. You can use this appetizer differently if you make rolls or tartlets out of it.
Tender mushrooms in sour cream
Champignons are perfect for this recipe. The mushrooms turn out tender and juicy.
Potato gratin
Potatoes are a frequent guest on the New Year's table. Gratin is a great way to serve it differently.
A simple boiled pork recipe
This boiled pork is very good both hot and cold. Serve by cutting into thin layers.
Turkey roll with sun-dried tomatoes
Turkey is a great substitute for chicken. Turkey meat is perfectly digestible, it has little cholesterol and a lot of vitamins.

For housewives, the approach of a holiday does not always mean pleasant chores. In most cases, we rack our brains over how to surprise guests, because “Olivier” and “Herring under a Fur Coat” have long been out of the gastronomic trend of restaurants. To make your preparation for the holiday not a tedious task, but an enjoyable one, we have selected several simple, but very interesting recipes. Happy cooking!
Menu for the New Year: preparing salads
Dish 1: “Exotic” fruit salad
In the cold winter, this salad will be a fresh fruity outlet for fruit lovers. In addition, such a dish can be an ideal alternative to boring fruit slices.What you will need:
- one apple;
- one banana;
- one mango;
- one bunch of cold mint;
- some fruit yoghurt (amount to suit your taste);
- a little lemon juice (amount to your taste).
First, remove the core from the apple. Please note that there is no need to peel the peel. The apple is cut into small cubes. Immediately pour some lemon juice over the sliced apple. If you don't do this, it will darken. As for the rest of the fruits, they are also cut into cubes. All fruits are filled with yogurt. Pay special attention to presentation. This salad is best served in small transparent vases or bowls. If there are none, just use small glasses or glasses. Before serving, chill the salad in the refrigerator and garnish with a mint leaf.
Dish 2: vegetarian Caesar
This salad is an undisputed classic, but it is rarely prepared in a vegetarian version. We invite you to surprise your friends, especially since healthy eating is in demand now more than ever.What you will need:
- one bunch of iceberg lettuce;
- three pieces of tomatoes;
- about one hundred grams of Adyghe cheese;
- one handful of crackers;
- half a teaspoon of ground coriander;
- about one hundred grams of heavy cream;
- one teaspoon of starch;
- lemon juice (half a lemon);
- two pieces of nori sheet;
- one teaspoon of spices to your taste;
- a little ground shamballa;
- a little rosemary;
- a pinch of Provençal herbs;
- asafoetida;
We start by heating the olive oil, cream and starch in a saucepan. Add all the specified spices to the resulting mixture. As soon as you notice that the mixture is thickening, add lemon juice, as well as pepper and salt. There are also two sheets of nori, previously very finely chopped. Mix everything using a blender.
Next, prepare the crackers. You can, of course, use purchased ones, but we recommend making them yourself. Moreover, the process will not take much time. Take half of white bread, cut into characteristic cubes and dry using a dry frying pan.
As for Adyghe cheese, it is also cut into medium-sized cubes and fried until browned. Sprinkle a pinch of coriander on top of the cheese.
The final stages of preparation: tear the iceberg lettuce with your hands and cut the tomatoes in half. If the tomatoes are large, it is better to cut them into cubes. Season the fried cheese and vegetables with the prepared sauce and mix thoroughly. Add crackers just before serving. It is also advisable to sprinkle the finished salad with Parmesan cheese.

New Year's menu: preparing snacks
Dish 3: Philadelphia cucumber rolls
An appetizer with an oriental accent would also be appropriate on the New Year's menu.What you will need:
- three pieces of fresh cucumbers;
- about two hundred grams of lightly salted trout;
- one package of Philadelphia cheese;
- a little red caviar to decorate the dish.
The recipe is very simple and tasty - see for yourself. Three cucumbers are cut into thin longitudinal strips (plate-shaped). Trout is cut in the same way. Next, place a piece of fish on the cucumber plate and grease it with cheese. Next, simply roll up the roll and, to prevent it from unfolding, secure the appetizer with a skewer or toothpick. When serving, decorate the rolls with red caviar.

Dish 4: “Scorched eggplant” appetizer
Surely you know several recipes for snacks made from this vegetable. It is difficult to spoil eggplant: appetizers made from it are tasty, aromatic and, moreover, very appropriate on the holiday table. As an option - with garlic and cilantro.What you will need:
- four fresh eggplants;
- four tomatoes;
- four cloves of garlic;
- one onion;
- one bunch of cilantro;
- three tablespoons of vinegar;
- four tablespoons of olive oil;
- a little salt and pepper (to taste).
We start by frying four whole eggplants over a fire (necessarily open). Fry until the peel turns black. The easiest way to do this is using a gas burner, using a special grill grate.
Next, let the eggplants cool. After this, carefully cut them lengthwise, pulling out the pulp with a spoon. Tomatoes are processed simply: remove the skin from them, then finely chop them. Mix the tomato pulp with the eggplant, add thinly sliced onion, garlic (pre-chopped) and a little cilantro. The appetizer is seasoned with a small amount of oil and vinegar. We finish preparing the snack by adding a little salt and pepper to taste. Before serving, the appetizer should sit and soak for at least an hour.

Let the chicken sit for another fifteen minutes, and bon appetit!

It is best to choose a dessert variety of bananas. It is not difficult to identify them: as a rule, the size of such a fruit does not exceed twelve centimeters. Banana peels should be bright. At the same time, do not be afraid of a small number of dark spots, this indicates the ripeness of the banana.What you will need:
- one ripe banana;
