Can I add another star? I just got done picking a butt load of apples and was looking for something to do with them. Found this recipe and thought why not; i need a salad for tonight. I'm so glad I did. This is amazing. I used empire apples instead of a tart apple and omitted the brown sugar. This is now in my top 5 if not 3 of salads.

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!
