Alligator Pear Salad

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Peel and cut the pears in halves. Discard the seeds. Serve one-half to each person, or remove the pulp from the skin with a teaspoon. Serve on lettuce with wine salad dressing or oil dressing that has orange juice and a little lemon juice. Two of oil, one each of orange and lemon. Alligator pears con- tain a large proportion of fat and do not require the oil dressing.
