Sometimes, the most unexpected combinations make for the most delightful dishes. That’s exactly the case with this classic pear salad, a recipe passed down from my grandma. It’s a unique blend of flavors—pear halves sitting on a bed of lettuce, topped with a dollop of mayo, a sprinkle of mild cheddar cheese, and crowned with a maraschino cherry. At first glance, it may seem like an odd pairing, but this time-tested salad has been a beloved favorite for generations. I made it for my hubby last night, and while he was initially skeptical, he was pleasantly surprised by how well everything came together. Sometimes, you just have to try a recipe before you judge it. This old favorite was the perfect way to revisit a nostalgic dish and share a special moment with my husband. It’s the kind of comfort food that makes you smile and appreciate the good times.
