Composing a wedding menu is a strategically important task, because on the table there should be not only tasty and satisfying, but also beautifully decorated dishes. At the banquet, guests spend the main part of the holiday, so it is important to calculate portions so that all guests are full and make a list of products, taking into account taste preferences and the time of year.

How to choose salads for a wedding table

Together with one of the most significant holidays in the life of every person, troubles arise with the preparation of the menu. The first step is to choose salads for the wedding table, the composition of which should be different. It is important to consider that some guests may be allergic to one or another ingredient. An individual approach to the preparation of the menu will show a good attitude towards the invited people.

It is recommended to prepare different meals at different times of the year. In the cold season, preference should be given to hearty, high-calorie, warm snacks, and it is recommended to prepare salads for a wedding in summer from vegetables, fruits, herbs without adding a large amount of mayonnaise dressing, seafood or fish. In summer, hearty food is less relevant, so it is recommended that you prepare more light snacks.

Ideal would be vegetable salads with a light oil dressing, such as Caesar or Greek. You can add a little zest to classic recipes with the help of unusual ingredients - nuts, soft cheese, fruits, herbs or spices. In hot weather, mayonnaise can deteriorate, change the taste of a dish, or become hazardous to health.

People with different tastes gather at the wedding table, so the dishes on the menu must match them. To keep guests satisfied and well-fed, you need to prepare meat, vegetable, fish, vegetarian salads, appetizers with seafood and cheeses. The design of salads should be appropriate for the celebration, so carving has become popular - the art of artistic cutting of vegetables and fruits with a special knife. It is better to serve salads for a wedding in portions, and not on a common dish.
