Appetizers for the holiday table are an integral part of every celebration. Every housewife wants to surprise her guests, please them with delicious dishes and, perhaps, share the recipe with a friend. After all, no matter how food brings us a lot of pleasure, especially if it is healthy, light and satisfying.

Therefore, in order to produce not only a “taste effect” on guests, but also an emotional one, you should be more careful when serving.

Take fresh parsley leaves and fresh basil leaves, wash and dry. We cut them into medium pieces, you can, of course, tear them as you like. Mix the leaves and put them in a mortar.

Salads and vinaigrettes should also be dressed immediately before serving;
Try to remember which of your guests and what exactly they like for a snack. It will not be difficult for you to adjust the intended serving plan, and they will be pleased;
It is better to under-salt and under-pepper cold appetizers and salads, and it is better not to experiment with spices - the guest may not like it. It would be correct to simply put on the table a salt and pepper shaker, mayonnaise, mustard, horseradish and a dish with a variety of herbs;
