This southern pear salad is the perfect old-fashioned recipe. Juicy canned pears topped with creamy mayonnaise, shredded cheese, and a sweet maraschino cherry. It might sound odd, but it's a vintage classic!

Notes
- My canned pears tend to have 4 halves per can. However, occasionally, there are 5 halves per can. If this happens, you need a tablespoon of mayonnaise and shredded cheese, and one extra cherry.
