How to thematically decorate a salad for the New Year 2020? A step-by-step recipe with a photo of cooking Egg Mice for decorating New Year's dishes. Video recipe.
The year 2019 of the Yellow Earth Pig is approaching the end, and the New Year 2020 is under the rule of the White Metal Rat. Despite the fact that this will happen only at the end of January, we begin to celebrate this event on the night of December 31, 2019 to January 1, 2020. Of course, on this night, every hostess wants to surprise guests and put the best dishes on the table. However, the appetizer will be festive only if it is beautifully decorated.
Making a New Year's salad is not difficult. It is enough just to lay out the numbers 2020 from olives on the surface. A more advanced way is to lay a stencil on the surface of the dish, for example, in the form of a Christmas tree or snowflake, and sprinkle everything with cheese. The result is a beautiful drawing. However, these are all the simplest and most familiar options for New Year's decorations for snacks. It will be most original if you decorate the salad for the New Year 2020 symbolically, in the form of a Boiled Egg Mouse. Such a decoration can be used not only for a salad, but also for other appetizers, as well as prepare an independent appetizer in the form of stuffed eggs.

Step-by-step preparation of the Mouse for decorating a salad for the New Year 2020 from eggs, a recipe with a photo:
1. Boil eggs hard-boiled. To do this, put them in a saucepan with cold water, boil and cook for 8-10 minutes. Place eggs in ice water to cool well and peel easier without damage. Then remove the shells from them.
2. Cut off a small amount of the egg on one side to keep it firm. At this stage, you can carefully remove the yolks, prepare any favorite filling and fill the cavities of the halves of the eggs where the yolks were with the minced meat.
3. Place the resulting torso of the future mice on the surface with a cut down.
4. For the ears of the animals on the eggs from the elongated side, make small symmetrical cuts on both sides.
5. Cut out a small amount of protein in these places so that you can easily insert food for the ears in this place.
6. For the "ears" cut the selected sausage into thin rings of 1-2 mm and cut them into small triangles with one rounded edge. Insert the sausage pieces into the cuts in the egg whites prepared for decoration. Also, the ears of the animals can be made from cut pieces of radish, carrot or cheese.
7. Make eyes and a mouth from the buds of cloves or allspice.
8. On the back of the egg, make the same cuts as for the ears, into which insert a thin strip of sausage, symbolizing the "tail". You can also decorate mouse tails with herbs, thin carrot or cheese shavings.
9. Use ready-made Mice from eggs to decorate a salad for the New Year 2020. A similar design is suitable for any salads, and you can also make such mice from quail eggs.
