  • 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 clove garlic, finely chopped

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Can’t find pear juice? Use shelf-stable pear nectar instead.
  • tip 2
    If Campari tomatoes aren’t available at your grocery store, substitute 2 or 3 small plum (Roma) tomatoes.
  • tip 3
    Roquefort, Gorgonzola or Stilton cheese would all be delicious in this salad.
