I don't know why this is called Pear Salad because there are no pears in it! However, my father-in-law passed this on to me and it is fabulous! I have been making for get together and everyone asks for the recipe. This is a very forgiving recipe as you can substitute just about anything in the salad part of it, its the dressing that really shines! I have used spinach leaves, pineapple, mandarin oranges and feta cheese in place of other ingredients and it made an equally delicious salad. Get creative and enjoy! Ingredients:
1 (12 ounce) bag romaine lettuce |
1 (12 ounce) bag mixed baby lettuces and spring greens |
1 cup celery, cut thin |
1 cup bacon bits |
1 (4 ounce) container gorgonzola, crumbles |
1 granny smith apple, cut in small chunks |
1/2 cup chopped pecans |
1 cup sliced strawberry |
1/2 cup hellmann's mayonnaise |
1 cup oil |
1/2 cup cider vinegar |
3/4 cup sugar |
1 tablespoon dry mustard |
1/2 teaspoon black pepper |
1 tablespoon celery salt |
Directions:
1. Mix all ingredients for the salad in a large bowl.
2. Whisk and chill all ingredients for dressing.
