That is, we have salad recipes that can be prepared from the most simple and affordable products. And even with a small set of components, it is possible to make a delicious salad and decorate it in the most original way.

So, salads for the new year 2016:

This salad is called "Monkey". You can find similar recipes on any resource, but this dish still differs from the rest in the set of ingredients. So, you need to prepare:

• onions - 1 head;
• mayonnaise - 100 ml;
• fresh cucumber - 1-2;
• eggs - 3-5;
• crab sticks - 100 grams;
• round granular rice - 70-80 grams;
• hard cheese - 20-30 grams;
• greenery;
• olives - 5 pieces;
• 1 can of sardines in oil.

Boil eggs and rice groats in salted water until tender. Pay attention to the fact that the rice does not turn out to be overly crumbly, as it will play the role of an adhesive. But it's not worth digesting either. Chop greens, onions and egg whites, chop sardine with a fork. And cut the cucumbers into small cubes, grind the cheese through a fine grater, cut the crab sticks. We combine all the ingredients and knead, after which we add mayonnaise. Save some rice for garnish.

Now you need to take the flattest possible dish and carefully lay out the resulting minced meat. In this case, it is necessary to give the mass an oval to the monkey, as shown in the photo. The salad should be slightly smoothed, but not pressed down. Next, the yolks are ground into a homogeneous mass. Where the eyes of the animal will be, 2 piles are installed, around which you need to sprinkle with yolk throughout the mass. Remove the stacks and put rice on this place. Half an olive oil is placed in the center and the eye contour is made of them. But in this case, the olives are cut into strips. A drop of mayonnaise can be applied to the "pupils". Do not forget to create a smile from carrots or boiled beets. From the remaining greenery, you can make a hairstyle for the monkey.

Salad for the new year 2016 "Amazing monkey". This salad is laid out in layers. But to give the shape of the muzzle, you must be careful. First you need to make a beet edging, inside which the salad is laid in the following sequence:

• mashed sprats (1 can);
• finely chopped smoked sausage (100 grams);
• corn (0.5 cans);
• chopped olives (about 80-100 grams);
• grated sweet and sour apple;
• chopped onion (1 piece);
• a pack of crumbled crackers (except for bacon);
• boiled carrots, grated on a fine grater (1 piece);
• boiled potatoes.

Each layer must be coated with a small amount of mayonnaise. Now you can move on to the decoration. For this, yolks and whites are rubbed separately, which are laid out in a certain pattern, as shown in the photo. Eyes and a nose are created from olives, and a mouth from carrots. Tongue and ears can be made from hard cheese.

The salad for the new year 2016 can also have the shape of a snowman. Therefore, the next salad is called "Merry Snowmen". Of course, there have been similar dishes before, but this recipe is innovative. For manufacturing, you need the following components:

• processed cheese (5-6 pieces);
• hard cheese (100 grams);
• boiled eggs (6-7 pieces);
• crab sticks (200 grams);
• corn (1/3 can);
• carrots for decoration;
• mayonnaise to taste.

All ingredients are chopped and grated, then combined and thoroughly mixed. Then you need to form three balls of different diameters for each snowman. You can put some grated melted cheese on the dish to create a snow effect and strengthen the structure. Then a snowman is formed, and a spout and a bucket are cut out of the carrots. Onion leaves can serve as hands. Let the salad stand in the cold for at least half an hour.

This salad may surprise even the experienced, despite the fact that it has the most primitive appearance. Its secret lies in the filling. So, you need some canned mushrooms, processed and hard cheese, mayonnaise and boiled eggs. Try to choose the smallest mushrooms, since they will be the filling. Eggs and processed cheese should be finely grated and combined with mayonnaise. In this case, mayonnaise must be taken in minimal quantities so that the mass does not spread. With a tablespoon, separate part of the mixture and form a small cake, inside which you need to put the fungus. Then you need to give the mass a ball and roll in grated hard cheese. It should be noted that the combination of mushrooms and delicate melted cheese can delight real gourmets.

TIP: As a rule, such balls are laid out on a dish, which is covered with green salad leaves or herbs, but you can do it differently and more original. To do this, you need to buy special waffle baskets, on the bottom of which you can put any greens. And then you need to put a ball on top. The smaller the basket and ball, the more convenient it will be to eat this salad.

Well, what a New Year's celebration without a tree? That's right, none, therefore, salads for the new year 2016 should look like a live and real spruce. It is quite easy to design such a composition, but not every salad is suitable for this. If you hear somewhere that a Christmas tree can be made from Olivier, then do not believe it. Because this salad will just blur. Of course, we are ready to offer several options for those salads that really stand up. To form a spruce, you need to lay the mass alternately with a large spoon. Once you reach the top and cone shape, be sure to hang dill leaves on the salad and insert pomegranate seeds, corn, green peas, cranberries, and the like instead of the Christmas tree decorations. As a star decoration, you can use a toy, or cut out a layout from cardboard and paint. Better yet, cut a star out of red bell peppers or beets, carrots. By the way, cone salad can be laid out in layers. To simplify the task, you can roll the cardboard into a cone, which is spread inside with foil, pour the salad and turn it over on a plate. So, recipe options:

1. "Crab coat". This recipe involves layering. Just keep in mind that there should be many layers, that is, you stack the ingredients thinly, due to which they will be repeated. First, you fold the grated protein (6 pieces for the whole salad), onion (1) on top, processed cheese (2 pieces), butter (50 grams), sliced ​​chilled. Further, the mass is abundantly greased with mayonnaise. Upstairs you crush crab sticks (200 grams), one green apple, mayonnaise and yolk again.
2. "The Magnificent Margot". Now you will need 300 grams of boiled chicken, 5 eggs, 0.5 cans of pickled mushrooms, 2-3 potatoes and 100 grams of hard or processed cheese. All ingredients are finely chopped and mixed with mayonnaise. After that, you can lay out the salad in a slide.
3. "Caprice": mince boiled meat in an amount of 300 grams, grind 5 eggs, grate 100 grams of cheese. First, you need to marinate finely chopped onions. Combine everything and add mayonnaise, chopped parsley and dill. Lay out in a cone shape.
4. "Fast". This 2016 new year salad is really quick, inexpensive, simple but delicious. Buy 200 grams of salty crackers and crush them a little. Add chopped garlic to taste, 1-2 boiled eggs and mayonnaise. Place the salad in a heap and sprinkle generously with hard cheese on top. Then decorate it according to the generally accepted method.
5. "Olivier with chicken liver" is easy to prepare. The liver is boiled and grated on a coarse grater, potatoes, eggs, pickled and fresh cucumbers, finely cut into strips. Be sure to add onions. Everything is combined and dressed with thick mayonnaise. Thanks to the presence of the liver, the salad will not disintegrate.

Tip: For this kind of recipes, mayonnaise should be taken as thick as possible, or even better, make it yourself. You should not add too much of it, otherwise the salad will not stand a heap.

This recipe is perfect for vegetarians as it contains only vegetables. For cooking you need:

• lettuce leaves;
• greenery;
• tomatoes;
• fresh cucumbers;
• boiled potatoes;
• soybeans;
• green pea;
• mayonnaise or vegetable oil.

Finely chop the potatoes and stir with mayonnaise. Add soy, cucumbers and peas. Put in a glass and decorate with tomatoes and herbs. If you make a salad with vegetable oil, then you can pour it with lemon juice.

As a dessert, you can prepare a fruit salad that is excellent in taste and appearance. To do this, you will need 4 servings:

• 4 oranges;
• half a pomegranate;
• 2 kiwi;
• 3 plums;
• 2 tangerines;
• 1 banana;
• a small sprig of grapes;
• 4-5 strawberries;
• dry cloves;
• a sprig of mint.

For salad dressing, you can use yogurt, cream, lemon juice, or sour cream. This is as you like. Cut off about a third from the orange and clean the inside with a spoon. Chop all the fruits and carefully place directly into the orange. Add the fill in small portions during styling. Garnish the salad on top with mint and the orange with cloves.

"Fish in the pond". Perhaps you have ever tried such a salad, but not this one for sure, because this recipe is still unknown to anyone, but has already been tested. So, you need:

• potatoes: 3-4 pieces;
• eggs: 5 pieces;
• sprats: 2 cans;
• greenery;
• blue food coloring;
• mayonnaise: 1 pack;
• sausage cheese: 100 grams;
• fresh cucumber: 1 piece;
• squid: 150 grams.

Boil potatoes and eggs until tender and finely dice. Grind boiled squid too, but in a strip. Three cheese on a grater, and cut the cucumber into cubes. Sprats must be carefully laid out of the jar and kneaded with a fork. It is very important to leave 5-6 fish on a paper napkin on time. This is necessary to keep the fish oil-free. A small amount of mayonnaise should be combined with a blue food coloring to decorate the top of the salad, giving it a shade of water. Next, the salad is stacked in layers. First of all, potatoes are poured, which must be poured abundantly with canned food. Lay eggs on top and grease with white mayonnaise. Then add mashed sprats, fresh cucumber, a layer of mayonnaise, squid, cheese, mayonnaise and again eggs. Cover the top of the salad with blue sauce and make waves. After that, we insert the dried sprats with tails and head up. The edge of the salad bowl is sprinkled with abundant herbs.

The salad, symbolizing the New 2016, needs a little tinkering. Prepare a template for the form in advance: draw the outline of the monkey's face on cardboard and cut it out. The template will come in handy when shaping the salad on a large flat plate. The edges of the template must not extend beyond the dish. You can not coat the layers with mayonnaise, but make a mesh out of it. Finely chop the mushrooms and onion and fry in a little oil. Add black pepper and salt to taste. Boil chicken and cool, and grate cheese and eggs on a coarse grater.

When all the components are ready, you can proceed to the design. Lay the layers in the cut-out contour in the following order: - chicken meat; - eggs; - mushroom mixture. The grated cheese is placed on the bottom half of the salad, forming a monkey's face. Put chopped walnuts in the form of ears. Cut the bell pepper into thin strips and place in the upper part of the salad, giving the shape of a hat. Halves of olives - the eyes and nose of the animal, raisins - the contour of the muzzle and mouth.

Once the salad is finished, carefully remove the template. Remove all the crumbs from the salad bowl with a paper towel.
