COMMENTARY: BUNNY SALAD RECIPE (as mentioned in review of GOODNIGHT NOBODY)

After reviewing GOODNIGHT NOBODY, I can't resist posting this, because I think it's hysterically described as "easy." These really were brought in batches of twenty-five, to complement orange cream cheese carrots with green shredded marshmallow stalks.

"You have enough on your plate this month with Easter rolling around, pictures needing to be taken and baskets to be assembled. Why not have your little ones help you out this Easter dinner? Below are really easy and simple recipes for you and your little helpers!"


Difficulty: Easy
Things You’ll Need:
Small plate for individual bunnies or couples, platter for bunny family
Lettuce
1 half pear (fresh peeled and halved,(!) or canned halves)
2 raisins
2 almond or cashew halves
1/4 maraschino cherry or red-hot candy
2 toothpicks for whiskers (optional)
1 heaping tablespoon cottage cheese
Lightweight food storage bag to fit plate (optional)
Step1. On a small plate, place a leaf of lettuce as “grass” for your bunny.

Step2. With the narrow end facing you, place pear half cut side down in the grass.

Step3.Press 1/4 maraschino cherry or red-hot candy into the tip of the pear as the nose.

Step4. Break toothpicks in half and poke into pear as whiskers. (The better to have your kids choke on them, I guess).

Step5. Press raisins into pear for eyes. Cut and use half for each eye if whole raisin appears too large.

Step6.With pointed end up, press almond halves into pear for ears. For floppy ears, use cashews. (Nuts, another good thing for kids to choke on).

Step7. Add one heaping tablespoon of cottage cheese as the bunny’s tail. "May substitute a miniature marshmallow for the tail, but if exposed to air too long it won't look good."

Step 8. Run screaming through the house when kids have spilled all ingredients arguing about who gets to eat the maraschino cherries.
