A fun treat for children of all ages! :-) From the Western chapter of the United States Regional Cookbook, Culinary Arts Institute of Chicago, 1947. Chilling time not included in preparation time. Ingredients:
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 |
Directions:
1. Dissolve gelatin in warm water.
2. 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.
3. For each salad, fill a pear half with cottage cheese mixed with mayonnaise and chopped almonds.
4. Place a piece of leaf lettuce on a chilled plate and top with gelatin grass ; place pear half rounded side up on the gelatin.
5. Make bunny's ears, mouth and tail from almonds.
6. Make eyes by dipping the tip of a knife into paprika then gently into pear where you'd like the eyes to be.
7. If you wish to garnish, form a carrot from yellow cheese or cheese salad with a sprig of parsley for carrot greens .
8. Serve with mayonnaise.
