Pear and Grape Salad image

This comes from The Betty Furness Westinghouse Cookbook. This cookbook is 50 years old! I have not prepared this recipe, but I would like to share it with you. It sounds like a great luncheon salad!

Time 15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 pear halves in natural juice, fresh or canned
1/2 lb tokay grapes (I would suggest seedless grapes)
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
1 tablespoon heavy cream or 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
4 grape leaves

Steps:

  • If pears are fresh, they should be very ripe (dip in lemon juice immediately to prevent darkening).
  • If pears are canned, drain well.
  • Cut grapes in half, removing the seeds if necessary.
  • Mix the cream cheese with the cream or mayonnaise.
  • Place the pear, cut side down, on a plate.
  • Cover the pear with the cream cheese mixture.
  • Cover the surface of the pear with the grapes, placing the cut side down.
  • Place a grape leaf on each salad plate.
  • Place on pear decorated with grapes on each grape leaf, cut side down.
  • The finished pear should resemble a bunch of grapes.
  • Top with a dollop of mayonnaise if desired.
