Ingredients:

• 4 large lettuce leaves
• 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
• 4 canned pear halves
• 12 blueberries for eyes and nose
• 1 small strawberry for mouths (or mandarin orange segments)
• 8 romaine heart leaves
• Chives for whiskers

Directions:

1. Place a large romaine leaf on each salad plate.
2. Spoon 1/4 cup cottage cheese atop each leaf.
3. Place a pear half, cut-side down, on top of the cottage cheese.
4. Decorate each with blueberry eyes and noses, romaine leaf ears, and chive whiskers.
5. Cut strawberry into 4 wedges and use for the mouths. (If you're having trouble getting the face fruit to stick onto the pear, a trick is to use a tiny dab of cream cheese as edible glue!)

Makes 4 servings.
