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."

directions

  • 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!

  1. I learned this is the late 50's from the original Betty Crocker Cookbook for Boys and Girls. It's great
     
  2. I thought your instructions were complete. Sometimes, we have to use our own imaginations too. Perfect for Easter Dinner. Thank you.
     
  3. My kids had alot of fun making this themselves. I only put a picture of the mouse of the table with all the ingedents in bowls and they had a blast.
     
  4. This was so fun to make and really puts you in the Easter mood! Thanks so much for this cute idea!
     
  5. A really cute idea for an easter salad...for little kids, and big kids. I found your instructions a little vague and made the bunnies wrong at first. They looked like gophers or something, not bunnies. Anyways, I saw VeggieHippie's post and went to the Betty Crocker website and saw how they should be arranged and they wree truly more bunny-like. I posted a photo to help future chefs. Thanks for the fun! Pam

I live in the beautiful mountains of North Carolina, and love it. Having been a writer, editor and graphic designer for years, I am now pursuing my great love - helping people write their life stories - as a personal historian. My family's heritage is Dutch (parents, siblings and myself born and raised in the Grand Rapids/ Holland/ Zeeland areas of Michigan), so I am always looking for recipes, as well as other ideas, related to the Netherlands.
