Very different. We love cucumbers, but never thought to add apples and pears. My husband really liked the dressing, which complimented the ingredients very nicely. No changes were made. Delicious.

This has been a HUGE hit this summer since I made this the first time. It's fresh and tangy and everyone loved it. Now whenever we go to a BBQ, it's requested!

Very interesting and tasty salad. Funny that you can natuarally see almost any 2 or 3 ingredients together — but would not think to put all of them together. Surprisingly, I loved the apples pears and mustard together. The cucumbers, while adding crunch and color did not add nearly as much flavor.I used one Mutsu apple (pale green) and one Fuji apple (red) along with a Bosc. I did chill for about 30minutes and don't think additional time was needed often the case in these kinds of salads. The flavors came together rather quickly. And yes, replaced half the oil with water to make this lower in fat. Should point out that I am going with the new rating guides in Beta which are probably a bit more narrow than my old system. Months ago, this would have been 5 star. Thanks Chef Kate!
