Advice. To make a salad of all kinds of seafood look even more attractive, use olives, cucumber slices or chopped crab sticks.
Your loved ones and guests will definitely like this salad, but be prepared for the fact that it can cost a lot of money to purchase the ingredients.
7th place - Vinaigrette
And this simple but tasty salad was included in the rating of salads for birthdays and other celebrations, not only because it is very tasty, but also because of its relatively low cost. Vinaigrette is a cold appetizer that is created from all kinds of boiled vegetables, cut into cubes.
By the way, this is also a rather ancient dish: a vegetable salad in this variation was popular 25 centuries ago in Ancient Rome (then the salad was made from onions, parsley and some other ingredients).
Vinaigrette in the traditional sense appeared around the 19th century. As then, today it is prepared using beets, potatoes, cabbage, carrots and onions.
If desired, you can add pickles, peas, and sauerkraut to the salad.
10 most delicious salads: recipes with photos Advice: don’t be afraid to add other, unusual ingredients to the vinaigrette. For example, these could be pieces of meat or fish.
Mushrooms in any form go perfectly with vegetables, boiled and chopped into a vinaigrette. If you are not on a diet, you can season your vegetables with mayonnaise. But most often, vinegar is used to season the vinaigrette: the result is a tasty, nutritious and healthy holiday dish.
6th place - Crab stick salad
We come to one of the most popular salad recipes - crab. A mandatory component in this dish is finely chopped crab sticks. It is made very easily and quickly, so it is no coincidence that it is included in the TOP of simple and tasty salads for the holidays.
Additional components of crab stick salad can be different products: most often it is chopped boiled eggs, croutons or crackers, and corn.
If you wish, you can add grated apple or carrots to the dish.
Top best salads: recipes with photos 5th place - “Mimosa”
This is one of the best salad recipes that fall into the “spring” category. For more than 40 years, salad continues to be one of the main dishes on most holiday tables.
The secret to the success of this recipe is tender, melt-in-your-mouth ingredients. This light salad goes well with almost any side dish.
Mimosa contains canned fish and boiled eggs. If desired, the dish is supplemented with finely chopped onions and also seasoned with mayonnaise. And to create a “spring” look, all you need to do is crumble the egg yolks, creating a bright top layer.
4th place - Herring under a fur coat
The TOP of the most delicious puff salads, as well as the list of the most popular salads in Russia, includes the beloved “Herring under a fur coat”, beloved by many of us. But few people know about the true origin of this name. And the “Shuba” salad is associated with the distant 1918, when in one of the taverns a new recipe was invented, symbolizing the unification of the symbols of the proletariat, peasants, Bolsheviks (in the form of ingredients: herring, potatoes and beets) and the French symbol - Provencal sauce.
The name itself means “Chauvinism, Decadence - Boycott and Anathema”: and, indeed, after such a dish, tavern visitors became less drunk and rowdy.
Top salads: recipes with photos Modern herring “under a fur coat” is still just as tasty and nutritious. It is made in several layers using fish, potatoes, carrots, beets (all vegetables are boiled and grated), eggs, onions and apples, if you want to sweeten the salad a little.
The top layer is made from beets, as well as eggs and herbs, and mayonnaise is used as a layer between all components.
3rd place - Olivier
Olivier is one of the top three TOP 10 New Year's salads. Not a single New Year is complete without such a dish on the table. Despite its French origin, many consider this recipe to be originally Russian.
Today it remains the most popular salad in the world, although it has gone through many modifications and is prepared according to different recipes.
So how do you prepare the most delicious salad? Everything is very simple: boil potatoes, take boiled sausage and pickles. Cut everything into cubes and mix. Peas and mayonnaise are often added to the salad.
Top 10 salads with photos 2nd place - Caesar
This recipe for the most delicious salad in the world took second place. For 80 years since its first preparation, the salad has practically not changed its composition. Traditional ingredients are large lettuce leaves, Parmesan cheese, croutons, eggs and special Worcestershire sauce.
Abroad, it is no less popular than Olivier in Russia, and is included in the list of the 10 best salads for the holiday table, regardless of the culinary traditions of other countries.
The origin of Caesar, as the name suggests, comes from Italy. It was here that this salad was first used as a nutritious snack for alcohol. Moreover, the ingredients were selected randomly: the author of the recipe simply used all the products that were at hand. He put lettuce in a container rubbed with garlic, added a little olive oil, boiled eggs, cheese, herbs and croutons. And for juiciness, all components were sprinkled with lemon juice.
Those who have already tried Caesar will understand why it has become such a success. And with the addition of new ingredients (for example, anchovies or shrimp), the dish became even more delicious.
Today the recipe continues to change. On your holiday table, a Caesar salad from our rating will be a sign of a sophisticated approach to meal planning.
Rating of delicious salads with photos 1st place - Greek salad
The leading position in the TOP of the most delicious salads for the holiday table was taken by Greek salad. People call it “Village”. Regular ingredients: Feta cheese, olives, shallots and tomatoes.
In order to emphasize the taste, add olive oil, salt and ground pepper, as well as oregano.
Advice: use real Feta cheese made from goat's or sheep's milk: only it will convey the perfection of the taste of Greek dishes.
Rating of the most delicious salads with photos Additional ingredients when preparing a Greek salad can include capers, diced or sliced sweet peppers, anchovies, lettuce, onions and even beets. All vegetables should be chopped into large pieces. But the traditional dish does not include vegetable additives.
When serving Greek salad on a holiday table, do not rush to mix the dish. Do this already when you start putting the treats on plates, as is customary in Greece.
We told you about the TOP 10 best salads for Birthdays, New Years and other holidays and events. Now you will know what delicious salad to prepare for loved ones and invited guests.

Dishes that are called salads today were popular back in ancient times. For example, it was customary for the Romans to consume a mixture of chicory salad, olive oil, broth, onions and honey. Nowadays, such exotic combinations of products do not enjoy much success; people’s love is earned, first of all, by salads made from ingredients that satisfy three requirements: nutritional value, taste and availability.
There are quite a lot of salad recipes, but only a few of them are especially loved in Russia.
This article presents 10 of the most delicious and popular salads.
The salad, beloved by many, came to Russia in the 19th century from Scandinavian countries. It is in these countries that it is customary to mix pickles, herring and beets. The original version of the salad also included herring soaked in milk.
In the form in which we know it, the salad appeared at the beginning of the 20th century, in the vastness of the USSR, and has reached our days almost unchanged.
The salad is prepared from products available to everyone: beets, carrots, pickles, potatoes, sauerkraut and onions. As a dressing, use either regular vegetable oil or a mixture of it with vinegar and spices.
In general, it must be said that all housewives get a different vinaigrette due to the fact that some add any additional ingredients according to their preference.
It is important to remember that prepared and seasoned vinaigrette cannot be stored; it must be eaten immediately, otherwise food poisoning may occur.
This salad is often compared to Olivier salad, but their similarity is very, very conditional. The main component of the salad is meat or liver; it is best to take either chicken or chicken liver.
The following products are used for preparation: boiled chicken or liver, prunes, pickled cucumbers, carrots, cheese. All ingredients are mixed together and seasoned with sour cream or mayonnaise.
The salad lives up to its name - it is very tasty and can be prepared quite quickly if you have the ingredients. Its prototype appeared in Russia after the revolution, acquiring familiar taste nuances over time.
The availability of the ingredients of this salad was not only the reason for its popularity, but also the origin of many versions. Recently, preparing this salad in a large glass glass has become very popular, which shows off its layers favorably and effectively.
The salad got its name because of the external resemblance of its last layer to the flower of the same name, which is always prepared from a mixture of egg white and cheese.

Despite the fact that this salad is beloved in Russia, it is a culinary delight of North American cuisine. Legend has it that the chef invented this dish when there was practically no food left in the restaurant kitchen, and customers were demanding it.
Indeed, the ingredients of a salad are more than accessible to ordinary North American citizens and can be found in any kitchen: croutons, lettuce, Parmesan. The secret of the salad’s popularity lies in the presence of a special sauce that binds all the ingredients; it includes: eggs, olive oil, garlic, and Worcestershire sauce.

As the name suggests, the origin of the salad is associated with France. The French chef Olivier invented a recipe for an amazing salad - tasty, sophisticated and at the same time very satisfying.
The cook prepared it, naturally for the aristocracy, but after the revolution his recipe passed on to the common people.
The people who started preparing this salad did not have the opportunity to buy ingredients such as crayfish tails or capers, so they made its components as cheap as possible.
Nowadays, Olivier salad is prepared from the following ingredients: potatoes, sausage, meat or chicken, eggs, cucumbers and green peas. The entire composition is mixed using mayonnaise.
Naturally, the resulting and original version are very different from each other; we can say that from the first version of the salad, the latter only got the name. However, Olivier is one of the most favorite salads for Russians; a New Year's table without this salad would be a violation of a long-standing tradition.

Spinach – 1 bunch.
Salt, black pepper, lemon juice, 1 teaspoon of vinegar essence.
Peel the potatoes, grate them on a Korean carrot grater, and soak them in cold water for 5 minutes to remove excess starch. After this treatment, our potatoes become less calorie-dense, only healthy fiber remains in them and you can eat them without worrying about your figure.
Meanwhile, prepare the salmon. Drizzle olive oil into a hot frying pan and lightly fry the salmon steak on both sides. We put the salmon in the oven to finish cooking for 10 minutes, and we’ll do the vegetables ourselves. Throw the soaked and lightly washed potatoes into boiling salted water with a teaspoon of vinegar, let it boil and immediately turn it off. Finely shredded potatoes are cooked instantly in boiling water.
Vinegar or lemon juice must be added, otherwise the potatoes will turn into mush.
Shred the pickled cucumbers.
Remove the salmon from the oven, separate the bones and cut into pieces.
Place in a salad bowl, combine with potatoes, spinach, dill, and cucumbers boiled in brine. Pour lemon juice on top. Pour greens, peppers, and herbs to taste onto a mound of salad. Pour the resulting pile of greens with hot sunflower oil and mix everything.
