Salads for the New Year 2019

It is difficult to imagine a New Year's table without cold snacks. Salads which experts advise to give preference to this category are included in preparation for the meeting of the Year of the Pig. It is under her protection that the coming 2019 will pass. Salads for the New Year 2019 should be chosen special: they should not contain pork. A large role is given to their design.

Cooking Features

Technology cooking Christmas salads are very different. After all, these snacks can be meat, vegetables, mushrooms, fish. Often they are made puff, but this is not a requirement. With all the differences in recipes for salads for the New 2019, their preparation should be carried out taking into account several points, otherwise the result may not be exactly what the culinary specialist expects to receive.

• Salads that are prepared for the feast often include expensive and delicious foods. Wanting to save, the hostess seek to purchase them in advance. But this step is risky: having lost freshness, even the most exquisite dishes become unpleasant in taste, acquire a repulsive odor and can even cause food poisoning. If you are cramped financially, it is better to choose a simpler recipe than to make a salad of stale products.
• There are few people who want to cook a lot of dishes on New Year's Eve, so many hostess want to make snacks the day before. This is possible, but it should be noted that salads seasoned with mayonnaise and similar sauces have a short shelf life - from 48 to 72 hours, while there is a high probability that you will have to finish them on January 1 or even later. It would be more reasonable to prepare the necessary products (boil, cool, even grind), but not to mix them ahead of time. You can fill the salad on December 31, shortly before serving.
• In a hurry, many housewives put hot food into the salad, hoping that they would cool down in the fridge. You cannot mix hot ingredients with cold ingredients, including mayonnaise from a fridge. Such foods quickly begin to turn sour, and the next day they will have to get rid of them.
• Puff salads differ from ordinary salads in that they take time to soak the layers of the sauce. 2-3 hours are enough for this. At this time, the snack must be kept in the refrigerator so that it does not spoil.
• Try not to digest the products that make up the salad. Because of this, seafood becomes tough, egg yolks get a gray patina, vegetables are made too soft to be sliced ​​neatly.
• As has already been said, there should not be pork in the salads, which will have to decorate the table laid over the 2019 celebration.

When preparing salads for the New Year's table, do not forget to provide time for their decoration.
