New Year- a holiday that everyone loves at any age. It is he who is associated with hopes and the belief that next year will be accompanied by happiness and good luck. To attract good luck, you need to appease the symbol of the coming year. This year it is a fiery rooster. It is considered if you compose correct menu, to set the table as needed and to choose colors in everything that suit the symbol of the year, then the next year will be very successful and filled with only happy moments.

The choice of the New Year's menu this year should be taken seriously. The rooster will not tolerate chicken and other poultry on the table, as well as egg dishes. Unfortunately for the hostesses, there are many delicious salads, snacks and main courses contain these foods. You will have to puzzle a little over the preparation of the menu.

When preparing dishes for the New Year's table, follow three rules:

1. No poultry or eggs. Eggs are only allowed as ingredients in dough or batter.

2. Use more greens, fruits, vegetables, nuts. Ideally, the table should be vegetarian.

3. Cook more variety of snacks, sandwiches, canapes. You need to cook for the new year simple dishes, but they should be interesting, not boring. The rooster is a country bird, but extravagant and bright. Make your New Year's table the same.

Now let's start choosing dishes for the New Year's table.

Salads

Salads and appetizers on festive table there should be a lot. Give preference to fresh and fruit salads. You can cook vegetarian salads(there are a lot of recipes on the Internet), salad with cucumbers and tomatoes, salad with radishes and carrots, salad with radishes, cucumbers and apples. Also, do not forget about your favorite salads: vinaigrette and herring under a fur coat. Fruit salads can be seasoned with yogurt or chocolate. It's a great idea to do chocolate fondue and serve fruits and berries to it.

For the new year, you need to cook dishes with a lot of greens: salad, Chinese cabbage, dill, parsley, green onions, etc. The rooster is very fond of its abundance. If your salad recipe does not contain herbs, simply sprinkle them on top as a decoration.

Snacks

Don't skimp on slices and snacks. Place on the table several types of cheese, salted red fish, caviar sandwiches, all kinds of pita bread rolls and pancakes. For the filling, you can use fish, caviar, cheese, mushrooms, seafood.

As an appetizer, you can serve shrimp in soy sauce or squid rings.

Make hot tomato, garlic, and cheese sandwiches. Fried eggplant and stuffed mushrooms everyone will like it too. So simple and hearty snack will allow you to forget about the lack of meat on the table.

A separate topic in appetizers is canapes. You can put anything on the skewers: cheese, olives, pickles, fruits. This is a huge field for imagination and experimentation. In addition, they can be laid out on a herringbone-shaped plate, which will certainly be appreciated by all households and guests.

Hot dishes

Since meat is taboo this year, the second courses will have to be prepared from mushrooms or fish.

Bake creamy mushrooms, cook creamy salmon, or simply fry fish slices. Make vegetable stew or a vegetable casserole. Such dishes are rarely prepared for the New Year's table, and this is an extra opportunity to surprise everyone with originality and experiment with tastes.

How to do it yourself: Don't forget the greens. Sprinkle hot green onions. Serve the sour cream and dill sauce with the potatoes. To do this, simply add a large amount of finely chopped dill to the sour cream and mix thoroughly.

Soft drinks

Drink only natural juices and fruit drinks. It is better to refuse lemonades. The symbol of the coming year loves everything natural. You can make milkshakes with berries or fruits. Children will definitely be delighted with such drinks.

Alcoholic drinks

The word "cocktail" (from English "cocktail") consists of two stems "cock" and "tail", which literally translates as "cock's tail". And that's it. I don't even need to explain that preference should be given to cocktails. For example, make mulled wine.

Read the recipes for “burning” cocktails, for example, B-52, sambuca, green 52, zone 51. Fiery rooster will definitely appreciate such a meeting and generously present you with good luck in the new year.

The only rule is don't overdo it. The rooster will not tolerate this.

How to set the table for the new year?

Use bright colors in setting the New Year's table. Lay a bright red tablecloth, if there is no such tablecloth, use red paper napkins... They can be beautifully folded with an envelope.

Ideally, fold the napkins into a herringbone shape. It's pretty simple, but how original it looks!

The symbol of the coming year must be present on the table. It can be a small figurine or a rooster-shaped snack.

How to do it yourself: Give each guest a small rooster before the meal. So you will kill two birds with one stone: and do something pleasant for the guests (such pleasant little things are always remembered) and appease the Rooster.

Snacks and canapes on the New Year's table can be laid out in the shape of a herringbone. It is done simply and quickly, but it looks quite interesting. Alternate the colors of such a stylized herringbone to make it look more effective and vibrant.
