No solemn event can do without a beautifully served table, on which various salads, appetizers and hot meat dishes must necessarily stand. And in anticipation of the holiday, we are beginning to actively look for a new original salad on the festive table in order to surprise our guests. Someone is armed with women's culinary magazines, books, others are looking for interesting recipes from acquaintances.

Firstly, interesting salads to the festive table add variety to the diet. Secondly, cold appetizers show the culinary talents of the hostess.
The original and delicious salad on the festive table is a kind of ritual by which they judge the celebration as a whole. We describe the most popular and unusual recipes for these dishes.
Watermelon Slice
It is unlikely that you prepared this salad on the holiday table. This is a real work of art. We need: two breasts, fresh champignons, two eggs, onions, a hundred grams of cheese, dill, cilantro, mayonnaise, fresh cucumber, tomato, olives.
Boiled meat is divided into fibers. In vegetable oil, fry the onions along with mushrooms. Boiled eggs need to be grated. We do the same with cheese. We connect all components together, add mayonnaise, greens.
Spread the resulting mass on a crescent-shaped dish to make it look like a watermelon slice. Shred the cucumber with a very thin straw, like Korean carrots. Cut the tomatoes into small cubes. From fresh cucumber we make a green watermelon rind, put tomatoes in the center. Cut olives in half and simulate the seeds. Such a nice salad will be highly appreciated by your loved ones.
