Recipes for simple and delicious salads on March 8

For the festive table, you can cook any salads, the main thing is to turn on your imagination in the right way and decorate the dish according to the day of March 8. Or make a salad in the usual way, but come up with a name appropriate for this day.

It's okay if there is no salad with that name in nature. Rather, it would be more correct to say that until this day it was not in nature, but now it has appeared, and you are its author!

After all, it's great - not only to surprise and please your beloved, but also new salad come up with! By the way, I also plan to come up with names for them myself in this collection, so don't be surprised if you look for their names on the Internet, but you won't find them.

And the first we will go is the most suitable salad for International Women's Day.

Salad March 8, or "Postcard for Mom"

This is the most complex salad from today's entire selection. But its complexity is connected only with time and patience.

We will need:

• can tuna - 1 pc.
• boiled egg - 4 pcs
• hard cheese - 150 gr
• fresh cucumber - 1 pc.
• boiled carrots - 1 pc.
• mayonnaise - to taste
• salt - to taste
• greenery for decoration.

Cooking:

We will prepare such a salad in the form of the number 8, and to make it easier to do, we need two glasses with different diameter sizes. We will also need a large flat dish or plate in which we will collect our salad.

1. And so, we put two glasses on a plate, at the top with a smaller diameter, at the bottom with a large one. And start laying out layers.

2. The first layer will be grated protein from a boiled egg. We spread it in the form of two circles in the shape of a figure eight around the glasses, about three centimeters thick.

3. Drain the oil and juice from the tuna and shred it with a fork. Or you can use special tuna for salads. It is already crushed, and you only need to drain the liquid. Lay it on top of the egg whites. Lubricate with a thin layer of mayonnaise.

4. Put the grated cheese in the next layer.

5. Then a cucumber, grated on a coarse grater, followed by grated carrots. At the same time, you can lubricate each layer with mayonnaise, or, so as not to be too high in calories, do it through the layer.

6. With the last layer, lay out the yolk grated on a fine grater. And carefully remove the glasses.

7. We carefully remove the crumbs that have scattered around the edges with a napkin or a teaspoon.

8. And the final touch, decorate the salad with greens, canned corn and carved flowers from protein. But you can just leave the number 8 without flowers. The salad will look beautiful as it is.

By the way, here is another version of the same design, but without any glasses. The salad may consist of any combination of layers. We spread them simply layer by layer, smearing with mayonnaise.

Then we cut out the number 8 from paper, put it on the salad and sprinkle with finely chopped green onion or other greens. We remove the paper. And from the edge we make a willow branch. Carefully laid out egg yolks act as kidneys.

What, you're talking too long to mess with such a salad? I agree, although this salad is not at all complicated, you still have to tinker with it a little. But with the next no fuss at all. Prepare it in 10 minutes, just buy the products in advance so that you have something to cook it from.

Salad "Caprese"

This Italian salad is as delicious as it is beautiful. Moreover, not only its design is beautiful, but also the name. Therefore, as soon as you pronounce its name, it will immediately cause a smile in any woman, as this word caresses the ear.

We will need:

• large red tomatoes - 2 pcs
• mozzarella cheese - 2 balls (200 - 250 gr)
• olive oil - 2 tbsp. spoons
• dried basil - 0.5 tsp
• dried oregano - pinch
• fresh basil or parsley - sprig

Cooking:

1. Cut the tomatoes into slices 3-5 mm thick. In order to do this accurately, you need to have a well-sharpened knife.

2. Cut the mozzarella cheese in the same way as the tomatoes. And put on a plate, alternating layers. If the mozzarella balls are not very large, and the tomato, on the contrary, is quite large, then you can lay it out just mixed up, as in the video that we will have a little later.

3. Pour dry spices into olive oil, mix, and let stand for a while so that they have time to swell slightly and give their aroma. Then drizzle with cheese and tomatoes.

Everything, our salad is ready and you can serve it to the table. As you can see, it's quick and easy to prepare. And he looks quite decent! In addition, it is very tasty and healthy. And will not harm the female figure.

And here is another design of the same salad.

Salad "Women's Day"

The next salad is also very simple, and is prepared based on other well-known salads, when the ingredients are not mixed, but simply laid out in separate piles. Moreover, their composition can be completely different. The most important thing is that they all fit together.

Well, let's look at our today's version, and find out what will be in the salad this time.

We will need:

• ham or smoked sausage - 150 gr
• canned green peas - 150 gr
• canned corn - 150 gr
• bell pepper red - 1 pc
• hard cheese - 150 gr
• fresh cucumber - 1 pc.
• crackers - 1 sachet
• olives - 0.5 cans
• mayonnaise - to taste

Cooking:

1. For a salad, you can use any meat, it can be boiled meat, and chicken, and, like we have smoked sausage today. You can even use crab sticks instead of meat, which will also go well with all other products.

2. Cut the sausage, cucumber, cheese and bell pepper into strips of approximately the same size and thickness. Cut olives into slices. They can also be substituted for olives.

3. To decorate the salad, we need a large flat dish. We have 8 ingredients in total, we divide the plane of the dish into 7 sectors and put each of the ingredients in one of them. Place olives in the center.

4. We use crackers purchased from a bag.

5. Squeeze out beautiful lace tracks from the mayonnaise bag, framing each of the sectors with them. It turns out a very beautiful design. It is in this form that it should be served on the table.

6. Before you start eating salad, mix it with mayonnaise.

As you probably noticed, all the ingredients here are used fresh. You don't need to cook anything for the salad. I bought it in a store, washed it, cut it - and a delicious salad is ready. It only takes 15 minutes to prepare.

Salad "Princess"

And the next salad is made from chicken breast. It can be pre-boiled, or you can buy ready-made, for example, smoked.

We will need:

• chicken fillet - 200 gr
• pitted prunes - 0.5 cups
• boiled egg - 4 pcs
• processed cheese - 100 gr
• fresh or pickled cucumber - 1 pc.
• walnuts - 0.5 cups
• mayonnaise - - 5 tbsp. spoons
• salt, pepper - to taste

Cooking:

1. Pour prunes with warm boiled water and let stand for a while so that it swells slightly. Then dry and finely chop.

2. Disassemble the chicken fillet into fibers, or you can simply cut it into small cubes.

3. Grind half of the nuts in a blender to a state of large crumbs, roll the second part with a rolling pin so that the particles are the size of a small pea.

4. Cut the eggs and cucumber in the same way as cut the chicken. If cubes, then cubes, and if disassembled into fibers, then you need to cut into small strips.

5. Put the cheese in the freezer for a while, then grate it so it does not stick together and the salad looks beautiful. Leave it and some of the large nuts for decoration. Also leave a little prunes for decoration.

6. Mix all other ingredients, salt and pepper to taste. Also mix with mayonnaise.

Sometimes salt is not required, because if the chicken is smoked, it is already quite salty, besides, mayonnaise is also salty. Therefore, do not be zealous with salt. But a little freshly ground pepper does not hurt.

7. Put the mixed ingredients in a flat plate, giving them the shape of a hill. Arrange the remaining chopped prunes, sprinkle with cheese and garnish with large nuts.

The salad is very tender and incredibly tasty. And anyone can make one! The only thing you need is to boil the eggs and cut all the ingredients. Fast, simple and easy!

Salad "Sudarushka"

Do you like smoked sausage with fresh cucumber? Then you will definitely like this salad. In addition, it does not contain boiled ingredients, which means it cooks very quickly!

We will need:

• smoked ham - 150 - 200 gr
• fresh cucumber - 1 pc.
• cheese - 150 - 200 gr
• green salad - 1 fork
• green peas - 3 - 4 tbsp. spoons
• wine vinegar - 1 teaspoon
• mayonnaise - 3 tbsp. spoons
• olive oil - 1 tbsp. a spoon
• salt, pepper - to taste

Cooking:

1. As a meat component, we will take a smoked ham, but in general any other meat can be used. We need to cut the meat into long thin strips.

2. Cucumber and cheese cut into the same thin strips, but not so long.

3. Rinse and dry lettuce leaves. Then tear into fairly large fragments.

Lettuce leaves cannot be cut with a knife. In this case, they will start up the juice, and become soft, dark and ugly.

4. Mix in a separate bowl olive oil, wine vinegar (it can be replaced with balsamic, or in extreme cases, apple) and mayonnaise. Add a pinch of salt and freshly ground pepper. Let stand a little. This will be our salad dressing.

5. Put lettuce leaves in a large flat plate. Put a little chopped ham on them, form a small hill. Drizzle with a small amount of filling.

6. Put cheese, cucumbers on top and pour over the filling again.

7. The last layer will again be ham, followed by green peas. On which we pour the rest of the dressing.

8. Put the salad in the refrigerator for 20 minutes so that all layers have time to soak in the dressing. Serve chilled.

If you managed to notice, this salad has some similarities with, of course, not in the composition of the main components, but in principle. I specifically do not offer Caesar recipes here, as many people know how to cook it. And if someone does not know how, then the link to it is higher.

Consider this salad, it is easy to prepare and always turns out delicious.

Hot dishes for the festive table on the day of March 8

The menu of hot dishes can be the most diverse and includes almost everything that a man can cook. Prepare what you can. There is no need to rediscover America and come up with complex dishes that are unusual for yourself. For example, my husband cooks for March 8 from year to year.

He does it very well, the result is always predictable, that is, pilaf invariably turns out to be delicious. And it’s not difficult to cook it, besides, cooking pilaf is a purely male task in the East. Therefore, men are happy to take on this.

Our mothers, daughter and husband always gather for the holiday, sometimes my brother and his family drop by. And everyone always eats wonderful Uzbek pilaf with pleasure. And no one in all these years has ever asked: “What, pilaf again?”

Another dish that men are happy to cook is this. They uncover their charcoal grills put away for the winter and enjoy grilling meat in the fresh air, even in the yards of apartment buildings. All neighbors treat this with great understanding, and even envy a little. And they will certainly put a tick somewhere in their mind so that next year do exactly the same and thereby please your beloved women.

Shish kebab, by the way, can be cooked in the oven, or in an electric barbecue (if any), for example, from chicken. It is prepared without much hassle, most importantly, see how to do it in a separate article by clicking on the link.

You can also easily bake in the oven - carp, mountain trout, or some other, by the way, you can bake it with vegetables, or stuff it and bake it too.

Or you can marinate and bake a whole chicken in the oven. It's easy to do, and everyone probably knows how to do it. You can bake it simply in the oven, or on the grill in the same oven (if there is such a mode), or in a sleeve, or in a bag, which will make the task even easier, since after that you don’t have to wash the oven.

I was surprised to find that I don’t have a whole baked chicken recipe on my blog. There is, but no chicken. Therefore, I hasten to correct this oversight.

Whole oven baked chicken

We will need:

• whole chicken - 1 pc
• spices for chicken - any
• salt, pepper - to taste

Cooking:

1. Wash the chicken and let the water drain. Dry with paper towels.

2. To make the chicken tasty, it must be marinated. For the marinade, we need spices. You can use a ready-made set of spices for chicken, they are sold in all stores.

I usually prepare my own sets of spices, and for chicken it includes ground coriander, cumin, thyme, oregano, thyme, garlic, turmeric, paprika. Such a set gives not only great taste, but also an appetizing ruddy and beautiful crust.

3. Pour spices into a separate bowl, add salt and freshly ground pepper there. You can add regular pepper, but freshly ground pepper gives just an incredible flavor.

4. Now, with the resulting mixture, coat the whole chicken outside and inside and leave it to marinate for 30 - 40 minutes.

By the way, it can also be cut along the chest line, then the chicken will turn out not to be voluminous, but flat and bake faster.

5. 15 minutes before the end of this time, light the oven and put it on preheat. We will need a temperature of 180 degrees.

6. Now you need to decide how you will bake the chicken, in a bag, or on a baking sheet. By and large, it will be delicious anyway! Therefore, choose any way.

If time permits, then you can prepare a chocolate-coconut roll without baking in advance for the holiday: it is made quickly and simply from the available ingredients (cookies, coconut, chocolate), but until ready, a delicious dessert will have to be “frozen” in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours.

If you show a little imagination, then without baking you can cook not only a birthday cake, but also a great many desserts. So, for example, the Delight dessert will be an excellent table decoration without any effort and time: in the “baskets” of chocolate chip cookies there is an airy and very tender mass of cottage cheese and strawberries (berries can be used both fresh and frozen). From the same chocolate cookies and condensed milk, you can also make the well-known Potato cakes. If there is nothing at hand except cottage cheese, eggs and sour cream, you can serve the original cottage cheese casserole, for the preparation of which neither flour nor semolina is required. Simple and very tasty, this casserole resembles a classic cheesecake in texture and taste.

Quick Holiday Dinner Recipes

In order for the festive table to abound with a variety of dishes, it is not at all necessary to spend the whole day in the kitchen - it will be enough to use a couple of quick recipes festive snacks.

A salad made from a jar of canned tuna with eggs and cheese will turn out to be very tasty and festive. In addition, from any canned fish, if time permits, you can quickly prepare a variation of the classic festive salad “under a fur coat” from potatoes, gherkins, beets, chicken eggs.

If the holiday really “caught by surprise” and there are no ingredients at all for preparing some kind of festive snacks or desserts at home, “lazy” pies with minced meat will be an excellent option - for example, the original meatball pie or hearty and delicious lavash cake “Men's Joy” ".
