TIPS
This speed-scratch recipe can be made more intense in flavor by increasing of the ratio of vinaigrette dressing. The addition of a hint of Dijon adds a European touch.
Try other light vinaigrettes like lemon, champagne or a simple house made olive oil and white wine vinaigrette.
The solids and fat in the feta blended with liquids helps emulsify the dressing.
Directions:
- In a blender, combine pears, pear juice and feta. Blend on high until smooth.
- Add vinaigrette slowly and puree until emulsified. Hold refrigerated for service.
