Step 13

Step 13
Cut the olives lengthwise into two parts. Visually divide the salad into 5 segments and arrange flowers from the olives, gently pressing them into the salad. You can first lay out the top 5 petals to distribute them evenly over the surface of the salad, and then the rest of the petals.

Step 14

Step 14
We decorate the free space between the flowers with herbs; if you have parsley, lay out leaves or sprigs of dill. I have green onions, I cut them about 5 cm long and laid them out a few at a time.

Step 15

Step 15
I used finely chopped tomato to decorate the center of the flowers, you can use red pepper or sweet corn for the yellow center. I did not include them in the ingredients.

Step 16

Step 16
Leshy salad is ready and ready to serve. After the photo session, the thought came that it was possible to also build a flower in the center at the bottom of the dish. But everything has already been done))). Bon appetit.
