Pear Salad

6 pears

½ cup broken walnut-meats

6 stalks celery and stoned olives, chopped

Mayonnaise

Lettuce leaves

Salt and pepper

Select well-formed pears and cut off a bit of the broad end so that the pear will stand steadily on the plate. With a potato-ball cutter remove the center, leaving enough of the pear to make a thick cup. Cut the celery into dice, add broken walnut-meats and chopped olives and mix all together with mayonnaise, adding a pinch of salt and pepper. Fill the pear cups and serve on lettuce leaves.
