Pear and Grape Salad

Time: 15 mins

Ingredients

• 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

Directions

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