Vegetable mix
To decorate the New Year's table with original vegetable slices, you need to chop the celery, carrots, red and yellow bell peppers with a thick straw, and also make cherry tomatoes and olives. Fresh cucumber is completely peeled, slicing it into thin strips, then slice the vegetable obliquely with thin plates. The dish is lined with green lettuce leaves, the olives and vegetable straws are laid out in sectors, in the center of the dish they put a bowl with sauce and decorate it in a circle with curly fresh parsley. To create slices, you can use either a special carving knife or a regular sharp knife with a narrow blade.
A vegetable cut in the form of flowers cut from radishes, cucumbers or tomatoes will look great on the New Year's table. To do this, cut thin long strips from them and carefully roll them into flowers, decorating them with olives cut into rings. You can also cut a large flower from a tomato, place it in the center of the dish on a salad pillow, and lay thin cucumber strips folded in accordion around the flower lap. A skewer or a sprig of greens is stuck into each accordion - in addition, the cut can be supplemented with tulips from plum-shaped tomatoes, cut from above in a zigzag.
