Pear Salad
Description
Pear Salad uses drained canned pear halves arranged on a serving dish. A spoonful of mayonnaise adds creaminess and moistness to the center of each pear, while shredded cheddar cheese provides a mild sharpness contrasting the pears’ sweetness. Maraschino cherries placed on top can be added to enhance sweetness and presentation. The easy assembly preserves the pears’ texture and flavor.
The salad can be served immediately chilled or prepared in advance and refrigerated overnight to meld flavors. Its sweet and savory combination offers a refreshing side to heavier meals or a quick snack.
Keep the salad refrigerated until serving to maintain freshness. The ingredients are simple and require no cooking, making it a convenient recipe for quick preparation.

- 2 cans pear drained, halves

- maraschino cherry optional
Notes
- Keep the salad refrigerated before serving to maintain freshness and texture.
