Mousy Pear Salad image

When my children were small, they loved to make these fun fruit salads. They gobbled up any leftover cheese and licorice as soon as the mice were assembled. The salads were the first thing they'd dig into when we started supper.-Marie Hoyer, Hodgenville, Kentucky

I'm not usually a fan of pear salads, but this one was really good. The dressing is what made it.

This salad was a delight! The combination of flavors and textures was perfect. The pears were sweet and juicy, the walnuts added a nice crunch, and the blue cheese dressing was tangy and creamy. I will definitely be making this again!
