Dressing salads at home is a special kind of art. An intricately decorated dish, even on a holiday, even on weekdays, will delight, surprise, and arouse appetite and a feeling of gratitude. Intricacy is highly dependent on taste.
Indeed, in jewelry, as nowhere else, one can see the human nature, character, and every single cute habits. Therefore, the appeal: let at least some unsolved mystery remain in you. Let the beautiful
salad design not be an end in itself for you. No need to paint landscapes and portraits of vegetables and sausage scraps. Follow a few elementary rules: the decoration should be elegant, and not tacky;
to decorate the dish you need purely the ingredients that are inside. If, for example, there is no cheese in the salad, then it is useless in decoration. And minimalism is better than sloppiness. Compare the illustrations here. Well, which of the pictures is just ah, and only? However, if you want to try on the sculptor’s accessories, I ask humbly. Not carving, of course, but this is a matter for professionals, and not decorating salads at home.
Tomato spiral
We cut the tomato from the top to the pope in a spiral, carefully separate it from the testis. Now you need to expand this strip on the board and twist. Put corn grain or pea in the center. And how to decorate dishes with these flowers, let intuition tell you.
Tomato bottom flower
We still have a spiral-cut tomato. Cut the bottom, cut out the triangles to make the petals, and also clean the green “little girl” in the center. Here you have almost a flower. Fill the middle with something - and you're done. Decorating salads at home is not only a special kind of creativity, but also educating oneself in savings. Well, they didn’t throw the tomato ass, everything into the house.
Cooked Carrot Flowers
Remove thin circles from carrots with a peeler. These will be the petals. Bend each in half and lay the edges on top of each other in turn. Do it better on the board. Then turn this path from the carrot circles. Immediately arrange on the territory of the salad, otherwise the flower will break up into fragments. You can also put something in the middle.
Egg daisies
With a sharp, narrow and thin knife, we cut a long strip around the egg until it breaks. Twist. Well, either chamomile or chrysanthemum turned out. In the middle, put something yellow or red.
Cheese or sausage braid
Cut thin ribbons and weave the lattice with a rug or a basket - as much as patience is enough.
Cucumber leaves
Use a knife or kitchen scissors. Cut thin ovals obliquely with a knife, then make cloves on a leaf. This is the best topic - decorating salads at home with a variety of jagged foliage.
Curly onions
Split onion feathers along the entire length as often as possible. The main thing is that it should not be sluggish or frozen. Dip the strips in cold water, then wipe with a napkin, the onion and curl. Such spirals look nice on the surface of the salad, if not overdo it. Between them you can lay out clusters of flowers or berries, for example. Or make a chamomile field of egg white and carrots.
Cucumber and carrot decoration
Boil the carrots without overdoing, so that it is supple, but elastic enough. Any cucumbers are suitable: fresh, salted or pickled. It is necessary to cut off several circles half a centimeter thick - for the base. Cut each circle, not reaching the edge, crosswise. And carefully turn out. Put thin petals into the hole, which we made at the beginning with a vegetable cutter.
It is not too difficult to make mushrooms or ladybirds from cherry tomatoes, mayonnaise and olives. In a word, the main thing here is to calm down the raging fantasy in time.
