Pear Vinaigrette
This 10-minute pear vinaigrette is perfect for enhancing fall and winter salads. Simply blend a pear, pear vinegar (or white wine vinegar), mustard, and olive oil, then season to taste. This recipe yields approximately 1 cup of flavorful dressing.
Instructions
- 1
Peel, seed, and coarsely chop the pear (1). Be sure to cut out any bruised areas.
- 2
Combine the pear (1), pear vinegar (5 tbsp), dijon (1 tsp), kosher (0.5 tsp) salt, and black pepper (0.25 tsp) in a mini-chopper or food processor. Whirl around enough to break up the pear.
- 3
Add the extra-virgin olive oil (5 tbsp) and whirl for 30 seconds to completely emulsify. If whisking by hand, gradually drizzle in the oil until an emulsion is apparent.
- 4
Test the ratio balance of oil to vinegar by dipping a leaf of greens into the dressing and tasting it. Adjust ratio and seasonings as needed before serving.
