No festive table is complete without such an important dish as salad! And even more so a festive table like New Year's! And if sometimes it is quite easy to decide on the choice of the main dish, then there is always a special attitude and attention to its preparation. You always want to cook it in such a way that it meets a number of requirements.

• It is desirable that it be new. But since you don't always want to experiment with new dishes for such a big holiday, you need to find a new performance for the old, already tested one.
• It should be relatively simple.
• It should look bright and colorful.
• It is necessary that it must be tasty.
• It must correspond to the Symbol of the coming Year!

And I want to bring to your attention one of them.

As you can already see, the dish has the name Pig in the Snow. An interesting recipe with an interesting presentation. And the preparation is quite simple. Watch it and cook it. It won't take much time.

How to cook Olivier - a special recipe for the New Year

It is difficult to imagine a New Year's holiday without the traditional one. Every year we want to find a replacement for him, but surely someone from the family will certainly ask: "Will there be Olivier?" And no matter how much you want to replace it with something else, it doesn't work. And all because it is impossible to replace it with anything!

It is as simple as it is delicious. Everything is balanced in it, nothing can be subtracted or added.

And this year I designed it in the form of a pig. The link to the recipe was given above.

Everyone knows the classic set of ingredients, these are:

• boiled meat - 300 gr
• egg - 4 pieces
• potatoes - 3 pieces
• carrots - 1 pc
• cucumber (fresh or canned) -2-3 pcs (depending on size)
• green onions - bunch
• green peas (canned) - 0.5 cans
• mayonnaise to taste
• salt, pepper - to taste

Preparation:

1. Boil carrots, potatoes and eggs, cool, peel and cut into small cubes. Try not to overcook vegetables so that when cutting the cubes have a shape and do not fall apart.

2. Boil the meat in salted water, cool and cut also into small cubes. You can use both ham and sausage instead.

3. Cucumbers can be used both fresh and canned. We also cut cucumbers into cubes.

We try to cut all the ingredients to approximately the same size and shape. This will make it look more attractive.

4. Put all the chopped ingredients in a large bowl. You don't need to stir anything.

5. Add the chopped green onions.

6. Pour in green peas, from which we carefully drain all the water.

7. Add salt and pepper to taste, mix.

8. Before serving, add mayonnaise and mix gently, trying to keep the "cubes" intact.

If you do, then the taste of the salad will turn out to be simply impeccable!

9. Nicely lay out in a special form, or on a flat plate. There are many ways to decorate New Year's Olivier. Exactly as long as the flight of our imagination extends.

I like the option when it is laid out in the form of a Christmas wreath, so we will decorate our cold dish "Pomegranate Bracelet" (we will talk about it below). It is quite easy to arrange it this way.

Place a glass in the center of the dish. Put the mass mixed with mayonnaise around the glass. Press down lightly with a spoon and shape. Remove the glass and decorate the dish as you wish. You can put a thick layer of dill on top of it, on which you can put melted cheese carved in the shape of stars. Garnish with pomegranate seeds, canned corn and grated hard cheese.

Or cut bells from cheese, ribbons from pickled cucumber. Form the dish in the form of a cake, and decorate it the way you want.

And here is a beautifully designed version, which, as it were, reminds us that after a long winter, summer will certainly come. And ladybugs running out onto the meadow will delight everyone with their bright appearance.

This is about the design. But the content can also change! If you don't want to use chicken, then adding some smoked meats will not be superfluous. Along with boiled meat, you can use smoked sausage and brisket. And if you want, you can use boiled tongue instead of meat.

There are Olivier recipes where shrimp, squid or salmon or trout fillets are used instead of meat. Pig and Boar will also not mind this change. And the dish will turn out with an original taste. And no one will even understand that you cooked it on the basis of "Olivier".

Incredibly tender and delicious salad Snow drifts with snowmen

Here is such a beautiful winter-themed dish you can prepare for the festive table. It turns out to be incredibly tender and tasty, so it flies off the table in the first place.

And to create such beauty is not at all difficult. Let's see how to do this.

We will need:

• smoked chicken breast (you can boil it yourself) - 250 gr
• boiled carrots - 1 large
• boiled potatoes - 2 pcs.
• cucumber - 200 gr
• hard boiled eggs - 5 pcs
• cheese - 100 gr
• salt to taste

For the sauce:

• canned white beans - 100 gr
• mayonnaise - 150 - 200 gr
• garlic - 1 clove
• dill - 2 branches

For snowmen:

• quail eggs - 4 pcs
• green onion - 2 feathers
• boiled carrots - 0.5 pcs
• studs for eyes and buttons

Preparation:

1. Prepare the sauce. To do this, place beans and garlic in a blender bowl and punch in mashed potatoes. Chop the dill separately for flavor and add it to the resulting mixture.

Mix with mayonnaise and set aside for now.

2. Cut the boiled eggs into halves and remove the yolk. Mash it with a fork and pour in one, maybe a little more, spoonful of sauce. Stir until smooth and fill the halves of the proteins.

Add a little salt to each ingredient if necessary. But you can do without it. Here is a matter of taste!

3. Prepare a dish on which we will collect all the components. The first layer is potatoes. Rub it directly over the dish, and then flatten it with a fork, giving it a round or square shape.

Brush with a little sauce, while not pressing the potatoes too much. It is advisable to make the layers loose, this is precisely what the tenderness of the finished dish is achieved.

4. The next layer will be carrots. Three of it right above the dish, level and pour over the sauce.

5. Then place the sliced \u200b\u200bham cubes. Slightly "pull" them down to cover the bright carrots. The layer also needs a sauce.

6. Cut the cucumbers into cubes and put on the next layer. Put the remaining sauce on them and distribute it evenly.

7. On top of them, place the filled eggs with the convex side up. And if cucumber greens are visible between them, then it should be covered with mayonnaise. Also, grease the side walls with mayonnaise.

8. With the help of cheese we will create snowdrifts. To do this, right above our structure, three hard cheese. And it should cover the entire surface of our treats exactly like snow.

9. Making snowmen. Cut off the ends from the eggs, and in the places of the cut, connect the two halves with a toothpick. She should still stick out above their heads.

Cut two circles out of the carrots, one larger and the second smaller, and plant them sequentially on the edge. This is our hat. We make a nose from carrots, and eyes and buttons from carnations.

Adapt parsley sprigs for handles. And so that the cut is not visible at the point of attachment of the torso and head, tie a scarf from an onion feather.

Put our handsome men on snowdrifts and be sure to smile !!! What great fellows we are! Such beauty has been created.

Let the salad sit in the refrigerator for about an hour or two. And serve!

Video on how to cook Salad Snowdrifts

Here I would also like to show you this cooking option in a video version. Painfully, he is good, beautiful and tasty! It is among our favorite winter recipes.

Just pay attention to the fact that here the sauce is prepared with onions, which have not been previously marinated or scalded with boiling water. Therefore, it has light flavor notes. If you don't like them, then don't add onions at all!

And look how cute the snowmen are. They can be made as a decoration for any dish on the festive table.

And if the top layer is covered not with cheese, but with yolks, then you get another salad called "Rafaello". You can see his recipe, where there is this option, and many others.

Snow King with red fish and caviar, recipe - new 2019

This is also a new recipe, and is the author's. It is based on another interesting and better known analogue, The Snow Queen. But I thought how long the queen would show off on the festive table alone, and I prepared a King for her. I think she will be delighted.

The difference between these recipes is in the composition of the ingredients and in the layout of the layers. And cooking it is not at all difficult!

We need:

• slightly salted red fish (I have salmon) - 150 gr
• surimi sticks (crab) - 250 gr
• boiled egg - 6 pcs.
• walnuts or others - 100 gr
• processed cheeses - 160 - 200 gr
• apple "Semerenko" or another sweet and sour variety
• red Crimean onion - 50 gr (without it)
• lemon juice - 1 tbsp. the spoon
• mayonnaise - 250 - 300 gr

For the marinade:

• water - 2 tbsp. spoons
• salt - 0.5 tsp
• sugar - 1 tsp
• vinegar 9% - 1 tbsp. the spoon

We will use fresh herbs and red caviar for decoration.

Preparation:

You should start cooking in advance, because it takes a lot of time to prepare. And although you don't need to cook anything here, still peeling, chopping and spreading requires enough of it.

1. If you like salads with the addition of onions, you can use it here as well. If you want to make the dish more tender, without the onion flavor, then do not add.

Onions can be cut into cubes or half rings and boiled over or pickled.

I cut them into very thin half rings and pickled them. Next time I will cut into cubes so that it does not feel at all. And pickled it. After the onion has stood for 10 minutes, the marinade should be drained, and the onion should be rinsed thoroughly. Try it, it shouldn't be sour, it can ruin the whole taste.

3. Separate the whites from the yolks. Grind half of the proteins on a medium grater, and half on a fine grater. Mash the yolks with a fork.

4. Peel the apple and rub on a coarse grater, pour in the lemon juice and stir. Punch the nuts in a blender, and grate the curds.

To make this easier, they should be kept in the freezer for 30 minutes.

5. Each of the components that was crushed and grated, except for small proteins and nuts, mix with a small amount of mayonnaise. Each one is in its own bowl. You don't need to add a lot of sauce, otherwise the dish will turn out to be too rich.

6. On a large dish, set a split form and lay out the layers in a certain sequence.

• processed cheese
• grated apple, if it has let the juice squeeze it out slightly, but do not pour it out
• red fish
• onion (here I would cut it into cubes)

• crab sticks (pour apple juice on them)

• yolks
• nuts (this layer is still the only one without dressing)

• proteins with mayonnaise
• proteins without mayonnaise

7. Put the dish in the refrigerator right in the ring. Let it brew and soak for two hours. Then carefully remove the form.

And all that remains is to decorate our dish! To do this, we have parsley, put its petals in the center. Fill the middle with red caviar. We also lay out individual eggs by proteins.

And along the edge of the plate we lay out short sprigs of dill. We have them symbolize the New Year tree.

Beauty can be served to the table and treated to guests.

3. Peel the herring from bones and skin. Cut into small cubes. Cut lightly salted salmon a little larger so that the pieces are more palpable. You can, of course, take two herrings instead of salmon. But we have a New Year, so we are not stingy, and we are preparing a truly festive version.

4. Put the gelatin in a water bath and heat it well. You should get a homogeneous mixture without lumps. In no case bring the mixture to a boil, you just need to warm it up.

5. Mix gelatin with sour cream. They say that you can use mayonnaise instead of sour cream. But to be honest, I haven't tried it. The sour cream recipe also turns out to be tasty, and not so high in calories.

Therefore, if one of you is not at all a fan of fatty foods, then sour cream will be just right.

6. Let's prepare a suitable form, it is better to take a silicone one. It will be easy to get a chilled salad from it. If you do not have such a form, then cover the form with cling film. We begin to shape our dish. Put a layer of salmon on the bottom, then herring. Layering with sour cream and gelatin.

7. Then the next layers - eggs, carrots and beets. Salt each layer and layer it well with a mixture of sour cream and gelatin.

8. Cover the top layer with cling film and send it to the refrigerator until it cools completely.

9. Then cover with a large flat plate and turn over. If there was a film at the bottom, remove it and serve "Herring under a fur coat" in all its glory.

Rice salad with liver

This recipe is for those who absolutely cannot imagine their festive feast without all kinds of puff salads with mayonnaise. But this is the New Year, which means that any wishes should be fulfilled immediately! If you cook with mayonnaise, then only with homemade. Serving salad in portions will keep you from eating too much.

RECIPE FOR RICE SALAD WITH LIVER

What do you need:
(for 5-6 servings)
1 tbsp. parboiled rice
500 g beef liver (for a more delicate taste, beef liver can be replaced with veal or chicken)
4 boiled eggs
200 g hard cheese
200 g canned corn
flour - for breading

Homemade mayonnaise:
3 yolks
150 ml vegetable oil
30 ml lemon juice (1/4 lemon)
1 tsp Russian mustard
1 tsp Sahara
a pinch of salt

How to Make Liver Rice Salad:

1. There are several secrets in cooking the liver that will help make it soft and juicy.

Always choose fresh liver, not frozen.

Pour boiling water over the liver and immediately immerse in cold water. Remove the outer film with a knife, soak in milk for 1 hour. Cut the liver into 1 cm thick pieces, do not salt, roll in flour.

2. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan, put the pieces of liver, fry for about 30 seconds and turn over. Then fry the liver again for about 1.5-2 minutes on each side.

It is important that the oil is hot. In this case, a crust immediately forms on the liver, which keeps all the juice inside. The liver is cooked over medium heat until, when pierced, the juice turns not red, but transparent.

3. Put the finished liver on a paper towel and blot with a napkin to absorb excess oil.

4. Grate the cooled liver on a fine grater.

5. Simultaneously with cooking the liver, boil the rice until tender and rinse in cold water.

6. Drain the liquid from the corn.

7. Divide eggs into white and yolk, grate separately on a fine grater.

8. Grate the cheese on a fine grater.

9. For the mayonnaise, put the yolks in a bowl, add salt, sugar and mustard. Whisk vigorously for 1 minute.

10. Add lemon juice to whipped yolks and beat lightly.

11. Continuing to beat the egg-lemon mixture, add vegetable oil in a thin stream and beat the mixture to the consistency you need.

Traditional homemade mayonnaise is usually added with lemon juice at the end of cooking to produce a denser, smoother texture. If you first introduce juice, the mayonnaise turns out to be lush and airy. It is especially good to keep this sauce in the cold for at least 1-2 hours.

12. Lay out the salad in layers: beef liver, rice, corn, cheese, egg white and yolk. Lightly grease liver, rice and cheese with mayonnaise.

Leave in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours and garnish with herbs before serving.
