Cottontail Bunny Salad
This is so fun to make together with your kids, and always gets oohs and aahs from children and grownups alike. I remember my mother making a version of this when i was young, so it brings back fond memories to serve it now. For an easter potluck, i used these as an adjunct to tom lambie's cherry fluff salad, recipezaar #10088, by placing the bunnies on lettuce leaves around the edge of a large tray, with a large bowl of the fluff in the center. Quite a nice response from the group as a result.
Steps
Place pear half , cut side down , on individual lettuce leaf.
Making small slits to help hold in place , add red hot for nose , raisin halves for eyes , almonds for ears , and cottage cheese for tail.
If serving very soon , the marshmallow is a fun substitute for a tail.
Exposed to air too long , it will become much less appealing !.
Ingredients
