Cold and hot snacks are light dishes that are served before a meal to enhance appetite or for an aperitif. These are sandwiches, tartlets, various mini rolls, pates… A lot depends on their presentation: an original and appetising snack prepares guests for what the feast will be like. Homemade snacks and buffet snacks are usually fresh, cooked or pickled vegetables, mushrooms, meat, fish, sausages, canned meat and fish, eggs or cheese. Festive snacks are especially popular, especially festive snacks for the New Year.
The role of these treats should not be underestimated – served to the table on time, they complement the main dishes; at the same time, despite the simplicity of execution, they can surprise with taste qualities and a bright presentation. Among the variety of possible options, you can find dishes that also relate to snacks, but for the preparation of which you will need free time and knowledge of certain tricks.
Suitable snack recipes are chosen based on compatibility with the main menu and availability of opportunities – this applies to both time and a set of products.

At the same time, do not forget about savory delicacies, such as salted red fish, and about exquisite and original dishes, such as dried salmon meat or shrimp in bacon.
Of course, in an office environment, a snack can adequately replace the main course. This is what happens most often. Then the preparation of a delicious snack can be made more refined or vice versa — simpler. You can choose several feeding options: cold and warm.

Hot and cold snacks are perfect for a house party, banquet or picnic in nature. Many dishes are prepared in 15 minutes.
Additionally, you can use tartlets, putting salads or any other filling in them. If you are expecting guests, then snacks are prepared without fail and served with drinks.

Whatever the reason, we offer you the best snacks, recipe ideas that will help you out even in the most seemingly unpredictable situations.
When I first saw this recipe, I thought it wouldn’t be very good… I was wrong!!! My husband is just in love with this salad, and all the guests are asking for a recipe =) I hope you like it))) P.S. I looked through all the recipes with this name, but I didn’t find anything similar.
I love salads with chicken hearts, as they always turn out to be “glory” and successfully replace meat salads.
I made a salad! It looks amazing!!!! Very good for a festive table. But at the expense of hearts and pineapple salad for an amateur.
This salad is well suited for an evening snack, it seemed to me that the salad is not heavy, but satisfying. Blue cheese gives the salad an intriguing piquancy. It goes well with a glass of white wine.
One of the most popular salads in Chinese cafes in China and on the border with it. Our restaurants also prepare this. Very satisfying at the expense of peanuts.
Another useful product is chicken liver. This cake turns out to be very tender and melts in your mouth. I often prepare it for the holidays. It is also a low-calorie food. Feel free to cook and eat without harm to the figure.
Yes, another liver pie. But not ordinary, but with a secret. Rather, with a twist, which is the addition of buckwheat flour. This makes the cakes so tender, delicious, fragrant… My husband, a big fan of liver cakes, when he tried them for the first time, was delighted and said that he had never eaten a tastier liver cake! Since only such and especially for him!
I offer you a salad from the “easy” series, cooking will not take much time, and the result will not disappoint, and the set of products is more than modest.
I propose a recipe for my favorite vegetable salad lately, in which diced fresh vegetables are perfectly combined with arugula, olives, potato sticks and lemon dressing, creating ideal flavor compositions as a result.
Pie made of liver pancakes, greased with mayonnaise with garlic. Perfectly decorate the festive table. One of my favorite dishes. I don’t pretend to be original, but it doesn’t seem to have happened with such a composition.
