I mentioned recently that pears are getting close to harvest, so here is another pear recipe. I am in the dark as to what “cheese dressing” may be. This doesn’t actually sound very good to me.
Pear Salad
Pare pears, cut in halves, remove cores & fill hollows from which cores were removed with cream cheese. Put cheese side down on nests of lettuce leaves, sprinkle with paprika, put clove in each end to simulate stem & blossom & serve with cheese dressing.

Cheese dressing, huh? Perhaps it’s bleu cheese. Dressing you would put on cheese–like mayo on a cheese sandwich? Mayo on pears sounds repulsive, but perhaps blue cheese would be okay. That would be a lot of creamy dairy products on a little old pear and I’m wondering why paprika is used. When I think of pears, I don’t think Wow! let’s put some paprika on that!
