How to Make Cottontail Bunny Salad

  1. Wash and dry lettuce leaves. Place one pear half, cut-side down, on each lettuce leaf.
  2. Gently make small slits in the pear to help secure the other ingredients. Insert a small piece of red pepper (about 1/2 inch) for the nose.
  3. Add two raisin halves for eyes.
  4. Insert two almond slices for ears.
  5. Spoon a dollop of cottage cheese (approximately 1 tablespoon) onto the pear for the tail. OR, for a fun, marshmallowy tail (best if serving immediately), use a mini marshmallow instead of cottage cheese.
  6. Serve immediately for the best presentation. The marshmallow tail will lose its appeal if exposed to air for too long.
