DAISY SALAD 
1 ruffly lettuce leaf
4 canned peach halves
4 maraschino cherries
1 celery stalk
1 1/3 c. creamed cottage cheese
4 lg. marshmallows
Colored sugar

Wash 1 lettuce leaf and pat dry with paper towel. Lift 4 peach halves from can and 4 maraschino cherries from jar with fork and place on paper towels to dry. Wash 1 celery stalk and pinch off leaves. Cut the celery into thin strips about 2 inches long and 1/4 inch wide on cutting board.

Spoon 1/3 cup cottage cheese onto center of each salad plate. Place 1 peach half cut side up on each cottage cheese mound. Cut each marshmallow crosswise into 5 pieces with scissors. (Dip scissors into glass of water to keep the marshmallows from sticking.)

Empty a little colored sugar into bowl. Dip the cut sides of the marshmallow pieces into the colored sugar. Arrange 5 pieces in the hollow of each peach half to resemble the petals of a daisy. Place 1 maraschino cherry in the center of each daisy. Use 1 celery strip for the stem of each daisy. If you like, place 1 or 2 celery leaves on each side of the strip. Tear the lettuce leaf into 4 strips and arrange 1 strip at the base of each stem for the grass.
