Vegetable cutting, decorated with a small amount of details made from products that differ in color from the main contents of the dish, will decorate the table and cheer up the participants of the meal. In order not to increase the number of colors used in the design, it is worth using neutral colored dishes for vegetables.

Instruction manual
1
Before serving, vegetables are often cut into circles, which can serve as a basic element for a decorative composition. Cut a fresh cucumber or radish in this way. At the radish, remove the upper part to which the tops were attached, and cut off the tail. Put the vegetables on the dish, on which the slices will be served to the table, overlapping, to get several round groups of slices.
2
Wash fresh bell peppers and gently remove the seeds inside. Cutting the vegetable in a circle, turn the pepper into a long thin ribbon. Fill the gaps between the round groups of other vegetables with pepper. Yellow pepper is suitable for radishes, surround the slices of cucumber with red. If the dish is large enough, you can combine colorful groups of different vegetables on it.
3
Sweet pepper, sliced in rings or half rings, can be combined with floral decor. Put the vegetables on the dish, filling part with red rings, part with yellow. Leave about a third of the surface of the dish under the decoration.
4
Put on the free part of the dish groups of medium-sized circles of radishes to get flowers. As the middle of the flower, you can use a circle cut from the side surface of the radish, covered with a bright skin. Make flowers stalks of thin feathers of green onions. Put a few shorter and wider feathers of a darker color to add leaves to the composition.
5
In the form of flowers you can arrange tomatoes. Cut off the edge of the vegetable to which the twig was attached, and divide the tomato into eight vertical slices. Remove the flesh with a spoon and place the slices on a dish to make a flower with narrow petals.
6
Surround the pepper sticks laid out in random order to prevent the petals from falling apart.
7
Slices of red tomato can be decorated with feathers of green onions. Put the tomatoes on a dish, leaving free space at the edges. Take away the undamaged feathers and trim their lower part so as to trim the greens in length. Disassemble the onion into several bunches and lay them on the edges of the tomato dish so that the ends of the feathers from the individual bunches intersect.
