Preparation
Step 1
Use any hard cheese, such as Gouda. Onion can be omitted if desired. Cook rice according to package instructions. Place eggs in cold water, bring to a boil, reduce heat, and cook for 13-15 minutes.
Step 2
Meanwhile, drain liquid from canned corn. Place kernels in a large mixing bowl.
Step 3
Rinse half of a long cucumber and pat dry. Dice it into small cubes and add to the bowl.
Step 4
Dice ham into small pieces and add to the corn and cucumber.
Step 5
Drain the eggs, cool, peel, and grate on a coarse grater. Add to the bowl.
Step 6
Add cooked, slightly cooled rice to the salad bowl.
Step 7
Season with salt and pepper, then mix with mayonnaise. Don’t use too much or the salad won’t hold its shape. Mix well and taste; adjust salt if needed.
Step 8
At this stage, you can add finely chopped onion and herbs if desired. The salad is tasty with or without them. Mix again.
Step 9
On a flat oval dish, shape the salad into a rabbit’s head and body. Use disposable gloves for convenience.
Step 10
Cut two small half-ovals from the cheese - these will be the ears.
Step 11
Grate the remaining cheese finely. Cover the salad with a thin layer, pressing gently.
Step 12
Spread cheese evenly over the entire surface of the rabbit.
Step 13
Use parsley or dill to draw a line separating the head from the body.
Step 14
Insert a half-toothpick into each ear.
Step 15
Attach the ears to the rabbit’s head.
Step 16
Cut an olive or black olive in half for the eyes. Make the nose from a small piece of ham or carrot.
Step 17
Decorate the rabbit with parsley or dill. Use ham, cheese, carrot, cucumber, or olives for extra decoration.
Step 18
Place the finished salad in the refrigerator to chill and set before serving.
