New Year's bell

Christmas salad decoration: grated boiled carrots on top. Ornament from grains of black caviar (caviar appetizer). From above, a sprig of spruce and a bow.

Salad decoration

Serving food is half the battle. And even if you are preparing a simple and outstanding salad, decorating it correctly, you can depict the most unusual and original dish. The main thing is to stick to the theme of the holiday or event, for example, for the New Year, you can decorate salads in the form of an animal whose year is coming, in the form of a Christmas tree or a snowman. Or, for a birthday, create unique salads by giving them the shape of a festive cap, cake or gift wrapping. For children, you can make cats, fish, and even a typewriter. On March 8, make a salad in the form of a bouquet or just a flower: a tulip, rose or lilac.

To decorate a salad, even the simplest one, let's take, for example, a vegetable salad, you can use either the same vegetables, or take an original and tasty inclusion, in our case it will be cottage cheese, garlic and herbs. The dish may consist of bell peppers, cucumbers and tomatoes, but decorations will be invented from cottage cheese mixed with chopped herbs and garlic passed through a press. We form balls and lay out around the perimeter of the plate, here you have a regular snack with a spicy touch.

A salad of pineapple and chicken, cheese and onions can be served straight in the fruit itself. Just take out the pulp, put it on the dish itself, and leave the peel - the boat as a decoration for the salad. Put the salad directly into the pineapple trough, decorate with herbs on top.

Mimosa salad is simple and familiar to most. But here's how original and new it will look if you plant a sprig of white flowers on top. Such decoration of salads is very unusual, since we will make snow-white flowers from a boiled egg, or rather, protein and yolk. Cut the yolk into circles - this will be the middle, and for the flower itself, use the tops of the egg white, making it sharp jagged corners. Put the parsley, along with the branch, and build flowers around it, putting a round yolk on a white base.

Even the usual festive "Olivier" can be beautifully transformed with a fresh apple and cucumber, eggs and Korean carrots. Here, as they say in the famous film: "Such a thing as ingenuity is also important." Therefore, all products should be combined in taste and theme with the main ingredients of the dish. Cut apples into thin half-slices, cucumbers - like rolls. We make a circle of cucumbers, folding them in half. In the middle we will make a swan out of apples: simply fold the wings from half rings, and the neck from a separate piece of an apple, which can be obtained by cutting the fruit in half and leaving the root on it. Now we will make, as in the previous salad, flowers from eggs, only in the middle we put not the yolk, but several Korean carrots.

From cheese, you can simply and easily make callas, as a decoration for a salad, just absolutely anyone. We just cut the cheese into thin squares, then we fold the pieces like a cup for seeds, as we used to do from paper, put it on a salad, add a yellow pepper center, eggs, and lay out the stalks of green onions. The middle can also be made black - from olives, green - from olives.

You can also make flowers from a plum tomato. Excellent tulips are obtained if the fruit itself is cut from above into four parts by several centimeters, put on a salad, made from parsley or dill stems and leaves. But lilac can be depicted from processed cheese, simply grated on a large grater in the form of a bunch of these flowers, and adding a drop of food coloring.

Food should be not only tasty, but also beautifully presented. After all, first we eat with our eyes, and then proceed to the meal itself. You can simply decorate this or that dish with a sprig of greens, but flowers from whole vegetables will look much more beautiful. Bright roses, chrysanthemums, daisies will turn any dinner into a holiday.

Any tight vegetables are suitable for flowers: cucumbers, daikon, radishes, tomatoes, onions, sweet peppers. It is not necessary to be fluent in carving to make a beautiful flower craft. It is enough to learn a few lessons on the formation of flowers and each housewife will be able to aesthetically serve any ordinary dish. Even the usual "Herring under a fur coat" or "Olivier" will play differently if a bouquet of beetroot or carrot roses flaunts on top. Next, we will take a step-by-step look at how simple vegetable flowers are made.

An ordinary bulb can easily turn into a chic white chrysanthemum. You can decorate a salad or a main course with such a flower.

You will need:

1 small onion;
water at room temperature.

Manufacturing process:

For chrysanthemum, a small, dense onion bulb is suitable. It is desirable that the bow was thin-walled. You can take a white, pink or blue onion. Accordingly, flowers of different colors will be obtained.
Remove the husk from the onion, cut off the top and root. With a sharp knife, cut the onion lengthwise, without cutting 0.5 cm to the lower edge of the bulb. Cut, starting from the upper edge, where the feather usually grows. Now we make another longitudinal incision perpendicular to the first. It turns out the bulb is almost cut into 4 parts.
We cut each quarter into several petals, moving the knife in the same direction (from top to bottom, without cutting to the end). We try to make cuts carefully so as not to damage neighboring petals.
Notches should be deep enough to make the flower lush. But if you cut too much, then the bud will simply fall apart and will not hold its shape.
Pour water at room temperature into a deep bowl, place the onion in it so that the liquid completely covers it. We leave for an hour and a half. Gradually, the bow in the water will bloom and turn into a lush chrysanthemum, as in the photo
Depending on the type of onion, it may take more or less time to open. If time is running out, you can gently part the petals with your fingers, then the flower will be ready even earlier.

Fresh cucumber rose

You can decorate any salad with a beautiful rosette or place it in the center of a plate with meat or vegetable cuts. Any person can make such a flower, even those who are very far from cooking and carving.

You will need:

1 long fresh cucumber;
vegetable peeler;
toothpicks.

Manufacturing process:

From a washed, dried cucumber, we begin to cut thin longitudinal stripes with a vegetable peeler, from which we will subsequently form petals. We do not need the very first strip with the skin.
Slowly cut into strips until we reach the core with seeds. Because the details cut out with seeds will fall apart, then we turn the vegetable over on the other side. Cut strip by strip again. From one medium cucumber, 16-20 blanks are obtained.
We choose the narrowest and shortest strip, fold it into a tube with a slight spiral offset, forming the middle of the flower.
Now we form the first petal. Without letting go of the center of the bud, we take a strip of cucumber with our free hand, we start one end of it by a spiral tube. A little lower we make a bend away from ourselves, lowering the second end to the base of the bud. We wrap the base of the rose with the remaining end of the strip as low as possible. The petal is ready.
We apply the next strip to the base of the first petal, bend it in the same way away from us and wrap the bottom of the flower with the tip. We try to form subsequent petals in a checkerboard pattern so that the base of the previous petal is covered by the next one. Because strips of vegetable are covered with sticky cucumber juice, then the petals will easily stick together. If there are too long blanks, then in the course of work we shorten them.
Don't worry if somewhere the flower is asymmetrical or crooked, this will give the rose a more natural shape. To form one bud, we need about 11-12 petals.
At the end of the work, the flower can be fixed with a toothpick, supplemented with a few leaves from the same cucumber or a few sprigs of parsley.

According to the same scheme, you can make roses from daikon, carrots, pickles, etc.

Very beautiful bright flowers are obtained from the orange root crop, which do not need additional coloring. You can easily make a beautiful lily from a small carrot in a matter of minutes. It can decorate a salad, jellied or snack cake.

You will need:

1 long carrot;
sharp knife.

Manufacturing process:

My carrots, peel them. We make sure that there are no damages and wormholes on the carrot. Cut off the top and bottom of the root crop to make a barrel. Cutting off the excess, we form a pentagon from the carrot.
Armed with a sharp knife, cut off a thin strip of petal from each side, not cutting a little to the very bottom. We sharpen each petal from the ends, cutting off the excess at the corners.
We cut off the next row of petals, but not from the place where the first ones were cut off, but slightly shifted to the side. Petals should be staggered. Thus, we cut out 3-4 rows of petals, depending on the thickness of the carrot.
The remaining central part is rounded to make a cone. On this, our lily is ready. The same white lily can be cut from a daikon.

Pink beet bud

If you need to beautifully decorate a dish with roses, then the most beautiful rose is obtained from beetroot. The root crop has a bright color, smoothly changing shades.

You will need:

1 large beet root;
small kitchen knife with a thin blade.

Manufacturing process:

First, let's prepare the vegetable for work. Wash the beetroot thoroughly, clean it. Now we give it the desired shape. On the one hand, we outline the base of the bud. We give it a conical forum, cutting off everything superfluous. The petals will be cut along the cone, the second part remains rounded.
We outline the place where the first lower petal will be located. Holding the root firmly, cut off the first petal, not cutting to the end of 1-0.5 cm. Moving from the center along the wall of the cone to its base. Closer to the base, the petal should thicken, and try to make the edge very thin.
We cut out everything superfluous from under the petal. To do this, we put the knife at an acute angle to the inside of the cut petal and cut off the unnecessary. So we create additional space between the rows of petals. We walk in a circle, cutting off the petals - the first row is ready.
Now we begin to cut the second row, we only form the petals in a checkerboard pattern relative to the first row. We also remove excess pulp. If necessary, trim and round the edges of the petals.
Similarly, we make the third level, only gradually reducing the size of the petals and changing the angle of their inclination, because. the cone will be truncated more and more. The petals must be handled with extreme care, because. they are very fragile and can break off with one careless movement.
Having made 4 levels, we proceed to the manufacture of the middle of the bud. From it we also cut out the petals, only they turn out to be quite small.
For the last time, we examine the bud, align the petals. The pink beet bud is ready.

sweet pepper flower

Using peppers of different sizes and colors, you can get the most beautiful flower bouquet, which you can even have a snack.

You will need:

1 pod of sweet pepper with a tail;
cold water;
small kitchen knife.

Manufacturing process:

Taking the pepper by the tail, make cuts with a sharp knife. We move from the top of the pod to its base, without cutting a couple of centimeters to the tail. Cut the whole pulp of pepper into thin strips, moving in a circle.
Each formed narrow petal is cut lengthwise into two more parts. Therefore, it is better to take meaty peppers. If we cut off only the peel, then it will curl up in a circle. And if a little pulp remains on the peel, then both petals will be straight.
When the slicing of the vegetable is finished, immerse the pepper in cold water for a quarter of an hour. The petals in the water will open, disperse to the sides, making the flower voluminous and beautiful. If we left only the skin, then it will curl into a ringlet, forming beautiful curls along the radius of the flower. Such an elegant flower will become a real decoration of the festive table.

Edible carrot flower

The blanks for this fabulous flower are cut out very simply. Then they gather on a toothpick and the decoration is ready. And to make the flower tasty to eat, the petals are aged in the marinade.

You will need:

1 large thick carrot;
salt and vinegar to taste;
water;
sharp knife;
toothpick;
vegetable peeler;
1 small onion.

Manufacturing process:

My carrots, peel, make an oblique cut. On this cut, using a vegetable peeler, cut thin petals.
Cut each petal from one edge in half to the center of the workpiece. In this place, the petal will fold and prick on a toothpick during assembly.
From the opposite side, along the edge to the center of the workpiece, we cut off narrow strips on both sides of the top of the petal. For one flower we make 4 large petals and 4 slightly smaller ones.
So, we begin to collect the flower. First we put on large petals on the edge of the toothpick. To do this, we take the first blank, string on the edge of the toothpick, first one half of the part cut in half, and then the other. Thanks to this, the petal takes the shape of a boat. Severed antennae stick out. We string all 4 large petals, placing them opposite each other.
Now we also put on smaller petals, just arrange them in a checkerboard pattern. We put a piece of a white onion on the end of the toothpick to imitate the core of the flower.
To make the flowers tastier, add table vinegar and salt to taste in boiled chilled water. We stir everything well, lower our flowers there for an hour. Jewelry pickled in this way can be stored in the refrigerator for several days.

Bright red antarium from hot pepper looks very impressive on the table. A dish decorated with such a flower will not go unnoticed. And to make such a decoration is not difficult at all.

You will need:

1 pod of hot pepper;
scissors;
sharp knife.

Manufacturing process:

We put on rubber gloves so as not to get burned when working with hot peppers. Wash and dry the pepper.
With a sharp knife, we make a longitudinal incision along one of the walls. We cut the pulp around the stalk, cut out the tail along with the core on which the seeds are attached. You need to act carefully so that the seeds do not sprinkle, because. they will occupy a central place in our craft.
We unfold the pepper on a board, give it the shape of an antarium. To do this, it is enough to round the bottom of the blank and trim the tip a little so that it becomes a pyramidal shape with a rounded edge.
The last touch remains. Stepping back from the base of the workpiece 2-3 cm, we make a puncture in the center from the front shiny side. We insert a pepper tail into it, and the core with seeds remains on top, turning into a flower pistil. Antarium is ready.

A white papillot made from daikon with a bright orange core looks very bright in spring. Therefore, it is good to decorate festive dishes for March 8 and Easter.

You will need:

1 daikon;
1 carrot;
salt;
water;
sharp knife.

Manufacturing process:

Wash the daikon and remove the skin. Cut off the lower tapered part and the top. You should get a blank in the form of a barrel 10-12 cm high.
Separately, in a bowl, we prepare a steep saline solution, place the daikon blank there for an hour. After that, the pulp of the radish will soften and be easy to cut.
Now put the barrel on its side on a cutting board. We begin to cut in a circle with a sharp knife a strip 2 mm thick and 10 cm long.
The resulting tape is folded in half lengthwise. We take a sharp knife and start making cuts from the side of the bend, not cutting to the end of 1 cm. We make notches in increments of 0.5-0.7 cm.
We twist the fringe into a flower, chop off with a toothpick.
We do the same operation with a carrot to get a fringe to form the center of the papilot. We attach an orange part to the center of the flower with a toothpick. The flower is ready.

A very effective decoration for any leek dish.

You will need:

1 stalk of leek;
toothpick.

Manufacturing process:

We take a fresh onion stalk, wash it thoroughly, separate one outer leaf. Fold it in half along its entire length.
With a sharp knife we make notches from the side of the bend, without cutting 1 cm to the edge. We make cuts every 0.5 cm.
We turn the workpiece into a spiral, starting from the light green part of the sheet. Then the flower will turn out light inside, and will gradually darken towards the edges.
From the wide part of the stem we make petals by bending the same segments of the stem in half.
We attach 6 petals to the core twisted with a spiral. On this work on the flower can be considered finished.

So that do-it-yourself flowers from vegetables do not disappoint you, choose fruits with a dense structure. Also, many vegetables tend to dry out quickly when cut, so do not make vegetable flowers long before serving. As a last resort, store the flowers in the refrigerator until serving. If you follow these simple rules, your dishes and decorations will amaze even the most picky guest. Bon appetit everyone!

Turn dishes on a festive or everyday table into an artistic picture. Let bright flowers bloom on their surface. If you know how to make a flower out of vegetables, then it will not be difficult at all. Then you will quickly turn an ordinary carrot into a lily, an onion into a chrysanthemum, and a tomato into a rose.

The tomato becomes a rose

You can start with the simplest decorations by talking about how to make a scarlet rose out of a tomato. Take a tomato, with a sharp knife, cut a thin strip from it in a spiral 1 cm wide, starting from the crown.

After that, take the resulting curl, twist it in the form of a rose and put it on the salad. You can make more than one such flower from vegetables, but several. Then the dish will bloom with scarlet roses. If you have yellow, black, white tomatoes, cut roses from them, such a variegation looks great on the table.

The pulp can be used in a salad or using it to take another photo will help with this.

More ideas that will help to realize the tomato

Cut as many circles from the tomato as you want to make funny flowers. You can also use whole fruits with skin. Arrange spinach leaves or a small lettuce in a semicircle on a plate. Place a slice of tomato in the middle. The flower will be mischievous - with eyes and a mouth. Make eyes from two small circles of cucumber, and pupils from an olive cut in half.

Form a mouth from a semicircular piece of carrot, and lay out sweet corn in the form of teeth. The stem of the flower can be a branch of celery, parsley or dill. You can put the same flower next to the plate. Serve a salad to a child: even if he did not like it before, he will eat it with pleasure.

If you want to make a vegetable flower in 30 seconds, use a small, sharp knife. Stick it in the middle of the tomato, make a zigzag cut in a circle. Separate the two halves, put each on a lettuce leaf - and the red exotic lily is ready!

Blooming carrot rose

This vegetable also gives limitless scope for imagination. To create flowers from vegetables with your own hands (in particular, from carrots), take a fairly large root crop. Clean it, if the crown has a slightly greenish core, cut off this part. Below it, cut off the workpiece, which will be 6-8 cm in diameter, and the height of this piece will be 5 cm.

If you have special carving knives, get the one called Thai. If not, take the usual small one with a thin tip. Turn the workpiece with the thick end towards you. To round a sharp corner, cut a thin ring at the top along the edge. It won't be needed. Next, cut out a semicircular petal on the base. Using a knife, remove some of the pulp from under it. So the petal will look more distinct.

In the same way, cut 3 more petals side by side at the same level. In this case, each subsequent element should go beyond the previous one by about 5 mm. Hold the knife at 45 degrees. Cut the petals of the second row so that they are staggered relative to the first. Now hold the knife in a more vertical position.

Before completing the third row, cut off the pulp in the form of a ring from the edge of the workpiece, remove it. Follow this technique for 8-9 rows. Turn the rose over and admire its magnificence.

Simpler options for orange vegetable decorations

You can make carrot flowers in an easier way. If you want orange daisies to float in your soup, stand the peeled carrot upright. Cut 4 strips symmetrically from top to bottom. Lay the workpiece horizontally, chop it into thin circles. Each will be like a flower. If you wish, you can make its petals rounded. The child will also eat soup with such a decoration with pleasure. You can place carrot daisies along the edge of the plate, put a second dish in it, which is also a baby, and even an adult will meet with a bang.

Make a rose out of this vegetable. To do this, cut off the chips from it in a spiral. Then, as in the case of the tomato, lay out in the form of a rose. To make the chips more pliable, you can dip them in warm, slightly salted water for 15 minutes.

Beetroot charm: decoration of dishes

The photo will help you understand how to cut directly on the beets. To do this, first wash, dry the fruit and peel.

Next, start making the core. To do this, stick the thin, sharp tip of the knife into the middle part of the fetus by 2 cm. Draw a circle with a diameter of 1.5 cm around this place. Step back 2 cm beyond this ring, describe with the tip of the knife a circle whose diameter is already 1.7 mm. Using the same point, remove the resulting ring 2 mm wide. Back out another 5 mm, draw a circle and remove 2 mm rings.

The middle is ready, it's time to make further a flower from vegetables, in particular its petals. From the outer circle outward, draw a petal with a knife, then the next one. Do this for the entire first row. Poke the tip of the knife 2 cm and cut well through the outline of all semicircular petals. Then cut 2 veins on each of them.

Step back from the edges of the petals by 1 cm, draw a circle, cut the pulp in this place with a recess of 5 mm. Then the petals will become more distinct. In a checkerboard pattern, cut out the second row of petals, which are 1.5-2 times larger than the first. Also mark the veins on them.

In conclusion, cut off the beet pulp along the edge, and the vegetable flower is ready.

Celery will give scope for creative imagination

A real masterpiece can be made in a matter of minutes from Usually its stems are eaten, and a small piece near the root zone is thrown away. And in vain, make a fabulous flower out of it. Dilute your favorite food coloring according to the instructions. Holding the root part, dip a slice of celery into the paint. Turn it over, put it on a plate, let it dry and you can decorate the festive table.

If celery is not available, the bottom of Chinese cabbage will do. If you do not plan to use this flower later, you can dip it in ink or paint and make an original seal on the invitation envelope. After the paint has dried, give or forward the invitation to whoever you want to invite to visit. They will never guess what it is. And when they come, they will see the original flowers from vegetables, you can make a whole composition out of them with your own hands.

Festive bouquet: first touches

Guests will be enchanted even more if a colorful bouquet is in the center of the festive table. When they take a closer look, they will understand that instead of buds in it there are flowers from carrots, peppers, tomatoes, white cabbage, and lettuce leaves play the role of greens.

Start by preparing a vase of a suitable diameter, it should not be narrow and transparent. In the center, put a piece of white foam rubber of the same diameter as the vase, but it should not reach its edges by 7 cm.

Take wooden skewers. Put some carrot roses on some of them. To do this, you just need to pierce the flower from the back with the end of the skewer. Attach the cone-shaped and barrel-shaped sweet bell peppers in the same way.
