Funny Egg Fish

Ingredients:

4 hard-cooked eggs, peeled
1 small red sweet pepper
4 radishes, very thinly sliced
1 mini cucumber, very thinly sliced
1/4 cup (50 mL) light mayonnaise
1/4 cup (50 mL) black olives
1/2 cup (125 mL) shredded lettuce

Instructions:

To make fish, cut a small slice off one long side of each egg so that it will sit flat. Place egg on a plate, flat side down. Cut eight 1-inch (2.5 cm) V shapes from red pepper to make tails. Cut the radish and cucumber slices into halves or quarters to resemble scales. Using mayonnaise as glue, place the cucumber and radish scales on the egg, covering the back two-thirds and leaving space on the narrow end for the face. Cut tiny cubes from the black olives to make eyes and place on the face. Cut a slit into the opposite end of the egg and insert a red pepper tail. Surround with shredded lettuce for seaweed.

Makes 4 servings.
