Salad Plating : Breaking the Monotonous Style

Some people eat to live, but there also some exceptional people who live to eat. Being a foodie, it makes me realize how important is food presentation, it is one of the ways to create an impact and impress the diners. Appearance of food will either attract or reject your guests to choose a specific meal. For this, you need not be a trained chef, you need not have all vegetables available, a little innovation and imagination is enough to create the twist with whatever resources you have at your fingertips. When it comes to home, you are the chef and family members are diners. And your family members enjoy the meal when little bit of creativity goes in presenting the food.

      Last night when I started making salad, I felt making it in the same way every time bores the maker as well as the eater. I took a cucumber and started cutting it into circular shape which is very common and usual, then I thought why not give a try for an oval shape. There is a difference between circular and oval shape. Oval resembles the outline of egg. For oval shape one needs to slice the cucumbers diagonally. After the cucumbers, it was onions and tomatoes in circular shape. You can take any vegetables of your choice, may it be carrot, beetroot, radish, lemon etc. and if its fruit salad you have numerous options to choose from. After cutting all available vegetables I started decorating it in to a plate starting with cucumber layer, followed by onions and then tomatoes. After setting everything on plate, I wondered what if a flower blooms at the centre of the salad!! And as I am fond of flowers I decided to give it a try, I started off peeling the skin of tomato from top to bottom spirally, let the peeling be continuous, do not break in between. After peeling is done start folding the peel from one end in circular direction and your rose is ready.




       There are various unique and innovative ideas to do the salad plating. Just need to google and give a try. One more idea I found is to make lotus flower from an onion. It gave a grand look to my salad.

    I just really love the way Salad is presented before dinner and most of the time we just don't think there is a lot of creativity and hard work involved while preparing the salad.

    thanks a lot.

The Most Effective Way To Get Rid Of RedAnts.

Image
Whenever I used to put some eatables in my room it was often eaten by tiny house ants which are small and red. Every morning I used to clean and sweep them out of my room and by evening when I come back home , an army of ants used to party and celebrate on my eatables present in my room. I was so angry and fed with them and not able to tolerate them anymore in my room. One day I found HIT chalk used for cockroaches lying in my kitchen and thought to give it a try as I was not able to think any other alternative to drive them out. I took the HIT chalk and drew it at the entry points from where the ants enter my room and around the corner of cupboards where eatables are kept. And to my astonishment, within few minutes all the ants disappeared. Its been so many days , but they never returned back. This chalk worked for ants as well as cockroaches. Today my room is free of these little troublesome tiny creatures. Next time, when you a...
