Year of the Rabbit Salad

By: Daina Lindeman

Cook the rice using your preferred method.
While the rice is cooking, cut up the salad ingredients. You can use the items listed or you can use whatever you have at hand or any other salad ingredients that you prefer. Dress the salad with Kewpie Roasted Sesame dressing. Alternatively, you can have the dressing on the side.
When the rice is cooked, mold a tablespoon of rice into an oval shape. This will be the rabbit's body. You can make as many rabbits as you like.
Place the rabbit into a nest of salad.
This is the fun part! Cut up some vegetables to create eyes and ears for the rabbit and bring it to life. I used carrots and radishes to do this, but you can use whatever works for you. My young son loves eating this salad, and the novelty of the rabbit really helps to encourage healthy eating.
Enjoy the salad, and enjoy the Year of the Rabbit!
