Try this Southern pear salad for a nostalgic delicacy, made with canned pears, mayonnaise, shredded cheese, and maraschino cherries. It might seem crazy, but the balance of sweet, tangy, and savory flavors work incredibly well together.
Arrange the lettuce leaves on a large serving platter or plate. Top each leaf with a pear half. Add a heaping tablespoon of mayo on top of each pear. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the mayo. Add a cherry to the top of each pear. Serve chilled.
