Salad
Description
In our country, it is customary to prepare a variety of festive salads for New Year's. Every year, in addition to standard salads like Olivier and those with crab sticks, I try to make something special and original. This salad, called "New Year's Tree," is just such a dish. It is interesting both in taste, as it features rather unusual ingredients for traditional New Year's salads, and in appearance—this you can see for yourself in the photo.
