Steps:
- Whisk together the lime gelatin and boiling water in a large bowl until the gelatin dissolves. Pour the mixture into the container of a blender, and add the pear halves and cream cheese. Cover and blend until smooth. Pour back into the bowl, and gently whisk in the whipped topping. Transfer to a mold or serving bowl, cover and refrigerate until firm, at least 4 hours. To unmold, dip the mold briefly into hot tap water to loosen the gelatin, then invert onto a plate.

This is one of my kids' favorite 'salads'! They love the pear flavor - and of course the jello flavor, too! This is quick & easy! Can be eaten as a salad or as a dessert. We've served it both ways. ENJOY!

PRETTY PEAR SALAD
Sweetened cream cheese is a simple and satisfying way to dress up canned pears. Plus, they look so pretty on the table. For a different twist, you can use canned peaches in place of the pears.-Barb Marshall, Pickerington, Ohio

GINGER COOKIE AND CREAM CHEESE PEAR SALAD
Easy, flavorful and just so unique. This goes great with roasted pork, chops, grilled chicken, or just about anything. It makes a wonderful starter salad. I wish I knew who invented this, but looked around on the web and so so many versions. This - was the - base of this recipe and then a few changes. But it came from a small town Mississippi cookbook while visiting a few years ago. I love it.

Steps:
- Gingersnaps -- Just add all the cookies to a baggie and crush with a rolling pin or meat mallet. You can also use a food processor, but the baggie is so much easier. About 2/3 will go to the cream cheese dressing and 1/3 for a garnish. Just set to the side.
- Cream Cheese Dressing -- In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese, mayonnaise and add 2/3 rd's of the ginger snaps, Mix well to combine. Set to the side room temperature.
- Dressing -- Mix the honey, orange juice and shallot. Once again, set to the side.
- Pears -- Peel the pears and cut into wedges.
- Salad -- In a medium size bowl, add the iceberg, romaine and a couple of tablespoons of the dressing and toss lightly.
- Plating -- For each plate, add the dressed lettuce, then top with 1 pear (or about 8 slices per plate) sliced in wedges and plated in a spiral around the center of the plate. Then, in the center add a spoon of the cream cheese mixture. Drizzle a little of the dressing over the pears and top with the chopped pecans and remaining gingerbread cookies.
- ENJOY! It is a sweet starter salad but it is absolutely great with the tangy cream cheese.
