Roquefort Pear Salad | Allrecipes image

This is the best salad I've ever eaten and I make it all the time. It is tangy from the blue cheese, fruity from the pears, and crunchy from the caramelized pecans. The mustard vinaigrette pulls it all together.

PEAR SALAD RECIPE | SOUTHERN LIVING

You won't find a simpler side dish on a Southerner's Easter table than nostalgic Pear Salad. But, don't let the name fool you; this recipe won't remind you of a leafy green salad or chopped fresh fruit. In fact, Southern Pear Salad is made with lettuce, canned pears, mayonnaise, Cheddar cheese, and maraschino cherries (really!). It's a recipe that may sound a little outside-the-box, but ask any born-and-bred Southerner – they've likely seen this on Nana's table growing up. And, it's worth a try. This no-fail recipe doesn't require any bake time or prep, and is super inexpensive to prepare. Grab a can of canned pears, pull out your jar of Duke's, and shred a little Cheddar to make this pear-mayonnaise concoction. Each canned pear half gets a dollop of mayonnaise, a sprinkling of cheese, and a cherry garnish. When you're ready to serve, arrange the pears on a few leaves of lettuce for a decorative touch.
