Peach And Cream Cheese Salad

 An excellent way of using canned peaches is to combine them with cream cheese for a salad. If a smaller salad is desired, half a peach may be used and the cheese placed on top of it. Firm yellow peaches are the best ones to use for this dish.

PEACH-AND-CREAM-CHEESE SALAD

(Sufficient to Serve Four)

Lettuce

Salad dressing

8 halves of pecans or walnuts

2 Tb. cream

1/4 tsp. salt

1 pkg. Cream cheese

8 halves canned peaches

Mix the cream and salt with the cheese and shape into balls. Place a ball between two peach halves, and press them together tightly. Place on garnished salad plates, pour salad dressing over the top, and garnish with two halves of the nuts. If desired, the nuts may be chopped and sprinkled over the top.

PEAR-AND-CHEESE SALAD
--If other fruits are not in supply for use in salad and pears can be obtained, they may be utilized with cream cheese in a pleasing way.

PEAR-AND-CHEESE SALAD

(Sufficient to Serve Four)

2 Tb. cream

Lettuce

1/4 tsp. salt

4 halves English walnuts

1 pkg. cream cheese

Salad dressing

8 halves canned pears

Mix the cream and salt with the cheese and shape into balls. Place one-half of a pear with the hollow side up on a salad plate garnished with a lettuce leaf and the other half with the hollow side down beside it.

Put a ball of the cheese in the hollow of the upturned half and press half an English walnut on top of that. Add the dressing and serve. French dressing is recommended for this salad, but some other salad dressing will answer.
