In summer, all kinds of salads are ideal. Dressed with citrus juice, vegetable oil, mayonnaise or sour cream, they are the perfect complement to our menu. These simple, tasty and inexpensive dishes are perfect for the festive table and for every day.

The first mention of salads dates back to the Roman Empire. During the feast, meat and vegetable dishes served with meat, seasoned with honey, vinegar and salt were served. The word salata (salted) meant "dressing with dressing." Salad usually consisted of lettuce, endive and onion, seasoned with olive oil, honey, salt, vinegar. The name "lettuce" lettuce (the leaves of which we add to our salads) is derived from the name of the dish, and not vice versa.

In the Renaissance, salads became an indispensable addition to the gala table. Dishes become more elegant, new products appear, strict rules of etiquette. Cheese, artichokes, asparagus, various root crops are added to delicate, balanced salads. Wine, various vinegars, lemon juice, olive oil and salt are used as dressings. Aromatic herbs and spices are also added.

Until the 19th century, salads consisted of fresh vegetables, herbs, root vegetables, and fruits. Since the 19th century, meat, boiled vegetables and root vegetables, salted and pickled products, boiled eggs, cheese, mint, parsley, mayonnaise appear in the salad. Since the 20th century, all kinds of meat, fish, mushrooms, canned peas and corn, all kinds of fruits have been added to vegetable salads. They also use all kinds of seafood: shrimp, lobster, squid ...

In modern times, we ourselves can invent snacks, experiment with various ingredients, creating a new unique taste. Salads are exceptionally healthy. They contain fiber, and vitamins, and proteins, and polyunsaturated fats, and various minerals, and carbohydrates. And it’s just very tasty ...

Thus, without a summer, vegetable salads could not do, and not a single holiday can do. Today we will consider some simple and tasty recipes for these dishes on the New Year's table.

How to cook:

To prepare the base: grate boiled eggs and cheese, mix with mayonnaise, garlic and herbs.

Cut the ham into round slices, and then cut each circle in half, i.e. make semicircles.

A semicircle cut is necessary in order for the stuffed rolls to stand confidently in the cut places.

Twist each semicircle in the form of a tube, tie a feather of green onion at the base and set as little men as shown in the photo.

Fill the resulting half-tube with filling in 2/3 parts, and put cherry tomato on top (like the "head" of the resulting man). You can even draw eyes with mayonnaise. Decorate the figures with greenery.
