Mix together the cottage cheese, raisins, and nuts. Add the mayo and blend thoroughly; add salt if needed. Using the large outer leaves of crisp lettuce, spread them with the cheese mixture and roll up like a jelly roll. (The recipe will make about 24 rolls) In season, tie each roll with a long-stemmed nasturtium. Place 2 rolls on each plate with the flowers on top and some of the tiny leaves of lettuce between. Clover blossoms may also be used, but the rolls will stay together without any tying. Strips of pimiento around each roll may be used if they are not tied.
