Ingredients

Walnut oil adds a nice depth and nuttiness, but if you don’t have any, use all olive oil.

1 large firm but ripe pear, peeled and cored

4 teaspoon sherry vinegar

½ fresh squeezed lemon juice

¼ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon ground black pepper

¼ cup walnut oil

¼ cup extra virgin olive oil

Preparation

Cut the pear into chunks and drop in the carafe of a blender with the lemon juice. Purée, then add the salt and pepper. Add the vinegar and blend well. With the blender running, drizzle in the oils until you have a nice, thick emulsified dressing.

The dressing can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 8 hours. Shake well before using.
