American cooks have created a large number of luscious salads that feature or include pears. The pears may be sliced and combined with fruits and/or seafood in mixed salads; cut in half and stuffed with cream cheese and nuts, herb-flavored jelly, chutney, Roquefort cheese balls, or Camembert; used in making; colorful molded salads and fanciful delights for children; or sliced and served on lettuce and topped with salad dressing. This salad is from the state of Washington, where many of our best pears are grown.
