Time 30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (3 ounce) package lime gelatin
2 cups water
6 pear halves
4 tablespoons cottage cheese
mayonnaise (use a good quality, such as Hellmann's)
1 tablespoon blanched almond, chopped
lettuce
24 almonds, blanched
paprika
parsley, for garnish
1 leaf lettuce

Steps:

Dissolve gelatin in warm water.
Pour into an 8" x 8" pan and chill until firm: shred with tines of a fork or force through a ricer to resemble grass.
For each salad, fill a pear half with cottage cheese mixed with mayonnaise and chopped almonds.
Place a piece of leaf lettuce on a chilled plate and top with gelatin "grass"; place pear half rounded side up on the gelatin.
Make bunny's ears, mouth and tail from almonds.
Make eyes by dipping the tip of a knife into paprika then gently into pear where you'd like the eyes to be.
If you wish to garnish, form a "carrot" from yellow cheese or cheese salad with a sprig of parsley for "carrot greens".
Serve with mayonnaise.
