Side Dish Recipe ~ Pear Vinaigrette

This is a light and lovely salad dressing that lends itself well to a simple and elegant salad. I love to use it on a salad of butter lettuce, arugula, goat cheese, and caramelized pecans - simply delicious!

Ingredients

• 1 ripe pear - peeled, cored, and chopped
• ½ cup white wine
• 1 clove garlic, chopped
• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• ¼ cup white balsamic vinegar
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• ¼ teaspoon sea salt
• ½ cup olive oil

Cooking Directions

1. Blend the pear, white wine, garlic, Dijon mustard, white balsamic vinegar, black pepper, and sea salt in a blender until well combined; drizzle the olive oil into the mixture in a thin, steady stream while continuing to blend. Blend a few seconds longer until the salad dressing is thick and creamy.
