PEAR SALAD WITH CREAM CHEESE AND LIME GELATIN
I have not tried this one yet but I thought It sounded interesting so I thought I'd save it here until I can try it myself. For more texture you could add 1/2 cup of chopped nuts to this salad. Cook time is chill time.

LIME-PEAR SALAD - MOM'S RECIPE
Mom was fond of fruit salads, and they were usually a gelatin combination, which was popular at the time I was growing up. Sometimes the color makes it more appealing, and it also makes it festive for a holiday meal. I remember her making this, but when I tried it, I changed things. It is better with lots of lime flavor, and since I like things "tart" I added fresh lime juice, you can add bottled lime juice. There is also a bit of Lime Jello, and food coloring in the first half of the process. Pretty enough for a Christmas buffet!

Steps:
- Boil water and pear juice, enough to make one cup. First Mixture: Stir 1 packet gelatin with a little cold water, stir in lime juice,then add the warm juice and the mashed pears add one or two Tbs. simple syrup, and stir in softened cream cheese, and whip together well.Optional: add four drops of green food coloring. Chill until thickened.
- In another bowl combine 1 cup boiling hot water and Lime Jello and stir well, let cool, and then add 8 oz. of Cool Whip. Chill until thickened.
- Prepare a mold by spraying with oil; I used a bundt pan. Place slices of the second can of pears in the bottom, spoon the first mixture of Pears/juice/cream cheese into the mold. Then add the final layer of Lime Jello/Cool Whip and cover tightly with foil and chill overnight. If making early in the a.m. it should be fine by evening.
- Turn the mold upside down over a serving platter, and tap gently to loosen gelatin. Decorate with marashino cherries if desired. It's great for dessert or on lettuce as a salad.
Tips:
- Choose ripe pears for the best flavor and texture.
- Use a variety of lettuces to add color and texture to the salad.
- Add other fruits and vegetables to the salad, such as berries, nuts, or avocado.
- Use a light and flavorful dressing, such as a vinaigrette or citrus dressing.
- Serve the salad immediately after making it so that the pears do not brown.
Conclusion:
Lime Pear Salad is a light, refreshing, and flavorful salad that is perfect for a summer meal. The combination of sweet pears, tangy lime, and creamy avocado is a winning combination. This salad is also very versatile and can be easily customized to your liking. So next time you are looking for a healthy and delicious salad, give Lime Pear Salad a try!
