Pear Waldorf Salad with Miracle Whip

Pear Waldorf Salad with Miracle Whip

A refreshing twist on the classic Waldorf salad, this version swaps apples for juicy pears and uses tangy Miracle Whip instead of mayonnaise for a lighter, zesty dressing. Crisp celery, crunchy walnuts, and sweet grapes complement the tender pears perfectly, making it a delightful side dish or light snack.
