Arranging a holiday for your child and inviting his friends, you need to be creative in the entire menu of the children's table, and not just on the design of the cake. Because more often it happens that a birthday man with young guests does not want to eat anything, and they only resort to serving dessert at the table. Let's think, what can attract children to salads? Of course, the design. But that is not all. Salads for children on their birthday in the form of animals should also correspond to the taste of the kids. Below are some original ideas for designing a children's menu. May your holiday succeed!
Avoid using pickled, salted or pickled vegetables in dishes. As practice shows, kids do not really like the sour taste. The only exception is the "Fur Coat", which can be served as a cake. In general,
puff salads for children on a birthday are more enthusiastic among younger guests than regular ones. Design plays an important role. Children eat with their eyes. Because the more colorful the salad will look, the more it will be successful. However, the aesthetic tastes in children and adults do not match either. Little eaters value not vintage and sophistication, but the fact that the appearance of the dish reminds them of some kind of animal, little man, machine.
Having beautifully designed
salads for children on their birthday, you can attract little fussy ones, even having built an “adult” snack. But in order to give the desired shape to the dish, it is necessary to take into account the viscosity of the ingredients. A salad with rice and crab sticks, Mimosa, the well-known Mistress, and others are very well “molded”. Do not be afraid to show imagination. For example, lay a dragon-shaped main course slide. Make wings for him from a sheet of Peking cabbage, eyes - from pomegranate seeds, tongue - a pink slice of crab stick. Experiment with color. If the component is beets, decorate the salad in the form of a red ladybug. Apply white spots with mayonnaise.
Salads for children on a birthday will diverge "with a bang" if the sweet taste prevails in them. Here are some recipes for such dishes.
"Turtle"
Finely chop 200 g of boiled chicken. Chop the onion, pour boiling water to leave the bitterness, strain. 4 hard boiled eggs. Proteins, yolks, 100 g of cheese and two apples grate separately. Grind a handful of walnuts. On a flat dish we put a cardboard strip in the shape of an oval. The paper will help to keep the "carapace". Lay out the proteins in layers, salt, grease with mayonnaise. Next comes a layer of chicken, onion, apple, cheese, yolks, nuts. Do not forget to coat each layer with mayonnaise. We form the legs, tail and head of the turtle (you can use slices of cucumber, half a boiled egg.
"Old Lviv"
This delicious salad for children is made from steamed prunes, in which walnuts are placed instead of seeds. Two beets are boiled in "uniforms", cleaned, three on a coarse grater. Squeeze 1-2 cloves of garlic through a press. Mix it with beets and grated hard cheese. Dress with mayonnaise mixed with sour cream. We form some kind of figure. We decorate it with prunes.
Original salads for children are obtained from mixing apples, celery, nuts, honey and sour cream, as well as oranges, peeled shrimp and herbs. Try this mixture: potatoes, apples, prunes, beets, eggs, cheese, onions, garlic. Season this salad with mayonnaise and sour cream, sprinkled with pine nuts.
