Fresh Apple & Pear Salad
This fun combination of ingredients comes together beautifully in one flavor-packed dish. Crunchy apples and ripe, juicy pears are fantastic tossed with crisp, cool cucumbers and a spicy dressing. —Jean Ecos, Hartland, Wisconsin

Excellent salad and dressing!
Made this exactly as instructed with dill (couldn't find tarragon)... Simple, refreshing and surprisingly very tasty. I never thought the mustard vinaigrette would work with fresh fruit, but I was mistaken -- it is so yummy. Took it to the office and shared at lunch -- it was a hit (especially with my vegan boss)!
Simple to make and great flavors!
I cut way back on the red onion and dill and it's very good. It was a little overpowering otherwise.
I liked this and it was really easy to put together. However, I took it to a family party and there were definitely leftovers and no one really commented on it.
This salad is wonderful! I made it with fresh tarragon, which we really enjoyed; however, the dill also sounds delicious, so I will be making it again soon!
I really enjoyed this salad. Who would have thought that the combinations of ingredients would compliment each other so well? Very light and refreshing. Will make again.
I made this for a lunch party and it was a hit!
I loved this salad and am making it again for a dinner party!
