Useful Tips

Salad is a wonderful opportunity for the hostess to demonstrate ingenuity and imagination. I’ll tell you how I cooked New Year’s salads, how and with what ingredients I replace in case of absence.

1. Poultry meat goes well with mushrooms, carrots and boiled potatoes. The delicate taste of meat is complemented by nuts, salad leaves and fruits: prunes, dried apricots, pineapples, apples and oranges. Based on these products, you will get an excellent salad.
2. If there is no poultry meat, take squid meat. The main thing is to prepare it correctly. It is enough to dip the meat in hot water for 15 minutes. Seafood can lose taste if you overdo it during cooking. Scallops, shrimp and other marine life are thermally processed in minutes.
3. Dishes from fresh lettuce leaves look wonderful. True, you can’t cook in advance, because they become soft, lose color and volume. If you want to preserve the vitamins and presentation of the leaves, tear them with your hands, rather than cut with a knife.
4. If there is no drying for leaves, after washing, shake and place on a paper towel for a quarter of an hour. During this time, they will dry out.
5. Season salads with leaves and herbs just before serving.

New Year's table setting

• On the New Year's table should be present vegetable dishes.
• Put meat dishes on a pillow of lettuce leaves. Use boiled vegetables for decoration.
• Decorate some dishes in the New Year's style. On a puff salad you can put a clock with vegetables out of vegetables.
• If you plan to make olivier, put on a plate a high slide and stick dill or parsley branches in it.
• Salads can be laid out in the form of Santa Claus. Children will be delighted with such a dish, and adults will like it.
• Would you like to serve a beautiful and original dish on the New Year's table? Make a turkey salad in baskets made of oranges.

As you have seen, the herring under a fur coat and olivier has a wonderful replacement. If you intend to celebrate the New Year in an original way, try to move away from traditional treats and prepare something new.
