After all New Year- this is probably the most beautiful holiday per year. The festive table is decorated especially beautifully, and New Year's decorations are prepared. And I want to decorate all the dishes on the table in a New Year’s style, bright and festive.

Salads prepared for the New Year can serve as decoration for the festive table. And for this you need to approach their preparation creatively.

Firstly, for holiday salads look for new recipes and design ideas - surprise your loved ones and guests, their gratitude will make the hostess very warm.

Secondly, if you are a conservative and cannot do without traditional Olivier and mimosas, then for health - prepare them, but decorate them in a new way, in a New Year's way.

Thirdly, be sure to bring a festive mood with you to the kitchen, and then everything will turn out 5+

Very popular on our holiday tables meat salads. You can use beef, pork, sausage, and ham for them. These salads with the addition of vegetables and mayonnaise are quite filling and high in calories, but it’s a holiday.

Well, what would we do without the traditional Olivier?

Ingredients:

potatoes – 5 pcs.
carrots – 2-3 pcs.

onion– 1 head
dill, ground black pepper - to taste

This recipe is probably familiar to everyone, right, every housewife has her own little secrets in preparing it. Boil the vegetables - I boil the potatoes in their skins, I don’t peel the carrots - this preserves them longer useful substances. Boil the eggs separately. Can be used for salad boiled beef, chicken, smoked turkey fillet, or you can do without meat altogether.

Cool the boiled vegetables and chop them one by one. I like to mash the potatoes in this salad, then the whole salad turns out more rich. Chop carrots and eggs finely. The smaller the pieces, the tastier the salad.

I add both fresh and canned cucumbers. Some do not interfere with others at all. Onion or green onions I always add it, but I know that not everyone likes onions in salads. So improvise. All that remains is to add canned green peas, dill and sprinkle with black pepper to our salad. I don’t add salt to the salad, since the salty mayonnaise with which we season the salad is sufficient.

The next salad for the New Year is called “Brut”, because not a single New Year is complete without champagne.

Salmon on a fur coat salad.

Salmon on a fur coat salad: photo

The usual Olivier salads and “herring under a fur coat” are already quite boring. Therefore, you can safely replace the herring with red fish, and get a fur coat in a new festive interpretation.

Ingredients:

60 gr. cheese
1 medium beet (boiled);
150 gr. lightly salted salmon;
1 medium carrot(boiled);
2 eggs;
1-2 small onions;
sour cream or homemade mayonnaise for refueling;
a little pepper and salt.

Preparation:

Boil hard-boiled eggs, peel them and roughly chop them. We do the same with hard cheese.
Cut the red fish into small cubes. We cover a deep salad bowl or bowl with cling film (the edges of the film should hang down) and place the fish on the bottom.
Peel the onion and cut it into thin half rings or cubes. Distribute chopped onion evenly over the fish and make a mayonnaise mesh.
Next we form egg layer and draw the mesh again.
Remove the skin from the boiled carrot and finely chop the root vegetable. Place the carrot layer on top of the eggs and compact it. Lubricate the carrots with sauce.
Grated cheese is also placed evenly in the container and seasoned with homemade mayonnaise.
We form the last layer from coarsely grated boiled beets. Cover the salad with hanging film and refrigerate for 2-3 hours. Before serving, take out the bowl, open the film, cover with the dish and turn it over sharply (we firmly support the structure of the plates with our hands). Thus, our salad turned over and the beet layer became the bottom one, and the fish ended up on top. The salad can be decorated with herbs or in any other way.

New Year's salad"Santa Claus's Glove"

These shaped salads are especially popular with children who love beautifully decorated dishes.

Ingredients:

2 carrots;
5 fresh eggs;
1 can of sardines in oil;
1 apple;
3 potato tubers;
0.5 medium onion;
0.5 bunch of green onions;
1 pod of red bell pepper;
a little salt and mayonnaise for dressing.

Preparation:

Boil carrots, eggs and potatoes in salted water until tender. After cooling, peel and grate the vegetables separately.
Rinse the apple, remove the peel, remove the core and grate it on a coarse grater.
Peel the onions, cut them into cubes, and soak them in vinegar for 10 minutes.
Open the can of sardines, remove the hard ridges, mash the fish with a fork until it becomes a paste and combine with squeezed pickled onions.
Wash the sweet pepper, peel it, and grate the pulp on a medium grater. Be sure to squeeze out excess juice. Otherwise, the salad will flow and quickly lose its shape.
Peel the boiled eggs, separate the whites and yolks. Finely chop the yolks and pass the whites through a coarse grater.
Now we form layers of salad, generously greasing each with mayonnaise.
First comes boiled potatoes. We lay it out in a tight ball in the form of a mitten and compact it.
Next, lay out the sardines with onions and immediately sprinkle everything with chopped green onions.
Now follows a layer of apples, followed by the yolk and protein mass(we leave a little protein for decoration).
The top and sides of the structure are painted over with a carrot ball. And our salad is crowned with a layer of red bell pepper.
From the set aside grated protein we form the fur of the mitten, and in the center we draw a snowflake with mayonnaise.
Place the finished salad in the refrigerator to soak for several hours. Bon appetit and happy holidays everyone!
