Cut whites of hard cooked eggs from small end nearly to base, into six or eight petals. Do this while the eggs are still warm to prevent egg white from breaking.
Arrange each on a bed of lettuce leaves.
Mix yolks with a good salad dressing, form mixture into cone shaped balls, and place in center of the whites.
