Ingredients

3 large fresh red pears, finely chopped
1/2 cup coarsely chopped walnuts, toasted
1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley, divided
2/3 cup KRAFT Balsamic Vinaigrette Dressing, divided
1-1/4 tsp. ground cumin, divided
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 center-cut boneless pork loin roast (4 lb.)

Steps:

Heat oven to 350ºF.
Combine pears, nuts, crushed pepper, 1/4 cup parsley, 1/3 cup dressing and 1/4 tsp. cumin. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Mix remaining parsley, dressing, cumin and garlic until blended. Place roast in roasting pan or shallow baking dish; brush with dressing mixture.
Bake 1 hr. and 20 min. or until done (145 ºF). Remove roast from oven. Let stand 10 min. Slice half the roast; serve with half of the pear salsa. Cool remaining meat, then shred and refrigerate to use the next day (with the remaining salsa) to prepare Pork Tostadas with Pear Salsa (see Tip).
