Lime Pear Salad

Betty Rudeen and Karen Rademacher
NOTES : Karen says this is a holiday standard. Lisa’s favorite salad and Kevin hates it, just ask him. Albuquerque Rudeens traditionally have this with their St. Patricks day dinner. Justin and Christopher Maxson’s favorite holiday salad. Justin always makes the first scoop out of the center followed by Christopher, Steven, Todd, and Suzy making individual divots. Makes for a lot of laughs and strange looks from any guest other than family who isn’t aware of the tradition.
