Took this to a potluck at work. Not only did it look beautiful, the taste was divine. Many of my co-workers requested the recipe. This one is definitely a keeper. Thanks for sharing this one.

Loved this salad and so did my family. It had a smooth, creamy taste and texture. The pears add a sweetness that was sooooo yummy. Nice green color, too. Thanks for a luscious summer salad.

This is not just a summer salad! I made it for Thanksgiving. I did not mash the pears completely, but rather left some of them in small chunks. I also added cinnamon to give it a spicier flavor. Very good!

This is a great recipe. Have also made it with whipping cream (whip first and add to pears and cream cheese)

This was a luscious molded salad. Beautiful green color. Very creamy, sweet and fruity. Went well with our Nurse Di BBQ menu. Thanks :)
