Salad for the Year of the Rat
Description
Minimum effort — excellent result. I suggest preparing Olivier salad for the Year of the Rat. However, to make the dish festive, it's not enough just to cook it — you also need to present it beautifully. For example, symbolically shaped like a mouse. The decoration is not difficult at all, and this idea can easily be applied to other similar salads. Take note! Ready to serve immediately.
