Decorate the salad as a gift box. To do this, place it on a dish in the form of a rectangular parallelepiped. From boiled carrots, cut strips 2-3 mm thick - these will be ribbons. Place 4 carrot strips on the salad in the form of ribbons bandaging the box. In the center of the salad, at the junction of carrot ribbons, make a bow.
