This salad brings back memories of my childhood. We had it from time to time at home, but I remember making it for a 4-H demonstration contest during that time, as well.
Bunny Pear Salad
4 pears
Lemon juice
Raisins, almonds, red candy to decorate faces
Lettuce leaves
1/2 to 1 cup cottage cheese
4 carrots and parsley sprigs (optional)
For each pear, cut a slice lengthwise that is slightly thicker than 1/4 inch. This will make a flat base for the bunny body. Reserve the slice to make the ears.
Peel the pears and rub exposed areas with lemon juice to prevent browning.
Cut the sliced piece from each pear to make V-shaped ears approximately 1/4 inch thick.
Cut a wedge from the base of each head and insert the V-shaped ears into place. Decorate the face by inserting raisin eyes, almond whiskers, and a piece of red candy for the nose.
Place each bunny pear on lettuce leaves and put a small scoop of cottage cheese where the tail would be. If desired, cut the tip off each carrot and peel. Place a parsley sprig in the back and lay the carrot beside each bunny pear.
