This salad is not as exotic as the previous ones, so it is ideal for it, if you want something slightly more traditional. Salad ingredients are the simplest:

In conclusion, I would like to add that anyone, even the most familiar salad, the same "Olivier" or "Herring under the fur coat" can be made more festive, giving it an appropriate look. For example, a salad can be put on the dish in the shape of a Christmas tree, and sprinkle with greens on top. And you can lay out the mouse salad, the symbol of the coming 2020, or several mice. The ears and the tail can be cut out of anything. For ears, chips are perfectly suitable (it is better to take even the same shape of the type of pringles or kracks), pieces of cheese, carrots, cucumber. And the tail can be cut from the crab stick, green onions or the same cheese. In the mouse, you can turn the usual boiled purified egg, dried input. This dish will certainly like the smallest guests, and can also become an excellent snack. Eye and spout of the mouse can be made of black pepper peppers.
The herring under the fur coat can be issued as a cloudy clock. Here is the mass of options for decoration. Figures can be made by Roman or Arabic. You can not post all the numbers, but only 6, 9, 12 and 3. For arrows and numbers, pieces of protein, green onions, cheese, boiled potatoes are suitable. Or you can put on a salad pieces of dry sausages and draw numbers from mayonnaise. The arrows from the clock better put for 11 hours 55 minutes. And you can simply put the numbers 2020 on the salad! Connect fantasy and your guests will be delighted with the festive table.
