TIP OF THE DAY: 10+ Holiday Garnishes

December 10, 2015 at 8:39 am · Filed under Christmas, Tip Of The Day

Many people are so accustomed to the same old parsley or watercress garnish. It’s easy to create special touches can you use for the holidays. The majority can be used with either drinks or dishes of food, savory or sweet.

We like festive red and green garnishes and star shapes. Consider:

Carambola (star fruit) slices (it’s greenish yellow; combine with a sprinkle of pomegranate arils for plate garnishes or notch for the rims of glasses)

Caviar: green- and red-colored golden whitefish caviar or green and red tobiko (flying fish roe)

Champagne grapes or red currants

Pomegranate arils on a slice of lime or kiwi

Red and green grapes: clusters, threaded, scattered, or on picks

Red cherry or grape tomatoes, halved on a cucumber slice or placed on top of baby arugula or spinach

Red radish slices atop cucumber slices
