Instruction manual
1
Decorate salads with ornaments, flowers and figurines carved from vegetables. Make a simple tomato flower: take a small, tight, hard tomato, wash it, cut it into quarters on the side of the “tail”, but not until the end so that all quarters below remain connected. Move the quarters slightly apart (pull down) to make it look like flower petals.
2
Cut out the fastening of the "tail" and the core of the tomato, seeds, so that only the skin and dense pulp underneath remain. Put olive or seedless olive in the center of the tomato, you can use a slice of some other vegetable of a contrasting color, it will represent the core of the flower. Make stems of flowers from feathers of green onions or stalks of other greens.
3
Take a thick cucumber, wash, cut it along rather thin plates, stylize each plate as a petal (round the lower end, sharpen the upper end).
4
Make another flower from a tomato: take a tight little tomato, cut it into three parts (make cuts like the Mercedes-Benz logo), leave the part uncut so that the petals are joined. Cut the “tail”, clean the core, bend the three petals down, put the flower on the lettuce with the skin up, put the “core” in the recess at the junction of the three petals: for example, a piece of radish with the white part up. Leaves and stems can be made from herbs, cucumber, green pepper.
5
Put fruit salads in halves of pineapple or orange, grapefruit, pomelo instead of creamers - they look very elegant. Take a small pineapple, grapefruit, large, thick-skinned orange or pomelo, wash thoroughly, cut into two halves, peel the pulp, but so as not to damage the skin of the fruit. Fill the skins with salad.
