Making a salad is just a skill. But to present it beautifully is already a real art. To set the festive table, it is not at all necessary to call a team of professionals in carving or catering (carving vegetables and decorating dishes) to your home. Everything can be done by yourself. Your guests will especially appreciate the fact that they will not be served salads in a common dish, but in portions.
In addition to beauty, this type of design also has hidden practical advantages. Firstly, a leaky ingredient (like a tomato) in a small portion will not spoil the overall look of the dish. Secondly, puff salads best viewed through a glass cup. And finally, the shameless guest will not sweep away an expensive delicacy (shrimp, foie gras) from above, leaving the rest only potatoes and onions. Making a side salad is easy. This does not require any special equipment. And in this article we will give a selection of recipes for portioned salads with photos of dishes.
The basics of the art of catering
Restaurant dishes always look beautiful. And so that your snacks are not only tasty, but also spectacular, we will try to arrange them accordingly. What do we need for this? There is an opinion that such snacks are served in bowls. This is true, but not always. Only simple portioned salads are served this way. From recipes with photos of dishes, you will not only learn how to make these puff snacks, but also understand that they are served in the form of cylinders on flat plates.
Fusion salads often sit on the table in small deep dishes. A transparent glass of round or square shape is also good idea for appetizers.
And finally, edible dishes. You can fill salad with puff flounces, baskets from shortcrust pastry.
If hard cheese is listed among the ingredients of the snack, do not rush to add it to the dish. Heat up a frying pan and put a piece of this fermented milk product. When it is slightly melted, lift it up with a spatula and quickly move it to the bottom of the inverted glass. After cooling, the cheese will take the form of a basket, where you place the salad. It should be remembered that different snacks require special arrangement. For example, a juice-leaking snack should not be placed in dough baskets. Coarsely chopped ingredients will not make even layers.
Portioned salads in bowls: recipe with photo. Cocktail
There is only one basic secret to decorating such dishes. All ingredients are cut into equal pieces (of equal size). If you have already chopped sweet pepper into strips, then chop other vegetables in the same way. Unlike serving in glasses, in bowls the components can be either laid in even layers or mixed with each other in an artistic mess. Therefore, such snacks are called cocktail salads. They always look win-win. Here is the first of a selection of recipes for portioned salads in bowls.

- We cover it with fresh cucumber.
- On this layer we put boiled eggs(two pieces).
- We put red on them bell pepper.
- At the very top we will have hard cheese. If you can’t cut it into thin strips, you can rub this ingredient coarsely.

Avocado with shrimp
Not a single selection of recipes with photos of portioned salads is complete without this spectacular restaurant dish. Its two main ingredients - shrimp and avocado - are not only considered delicacies, they are also very healthy. But it is worth remembering that the overseas fruit is very oily. Therefore, dressing such a salad with mayonnaise is not worth it. The best sauce there will be natural yogurt.
This is a fusion salad. It is prepared quickly, shortly before serving (if you have boiled, chilled and peeled shrimp on hand). Avocado pulp oxidizes when exposed to air. So that it does not darken and retains its “presentation”, it must be sprinkled lemon juice.
- First, cut the cherry tomatoes into quarters.

- The rest we cut into pieces.

Salad "Firewood on the Grass"

- We leave a handful of crackers for decoration. The rest of the pack (100-150 grams) is mixed with mayonnaise.
- In the same way, only in separate containers, we proceed with 200 g of chopped thin strips of ham, three hard-boiled and grated eggs, 3 pickles, half a can of green peas.

Serving in shortcrust pastry tartlets
Unlike a dense cheese plate, such a container requires a special approach. Not every portioned salad recipe can be applied to tartlets. Firstly, the mass must be dense and not letting juice in. After all, the dough, soaked in it, can lose its shape.
Secondly, all the salad ingredients in tartlets should be crushed almost to the consistency of a homogeneous cream. Only in this case, the "cakes" will look neat and appetizing.
