Pear Champagne Salad Dressing (Oil-free!)

Looking for a creamy, tangy and fruity salad dressing that utilizes the magical flavors offered by pears and champagne vinegar? Well then, you’ve come to the right place!

I just have to say – I LOVE this salad dressing! It is so fun and out of the ordinary.

You get a silky-smooth creaminess from the pears, tang from the champagne vinegar, and then sweetness from the maple syrup.  It’s truly crave-worthy, I tell you! I especially love it on salads that contain chopped fruit (such as apples, plums or pears) and some crunchy nuts.

Can You Make This Dressing With Fresh Pears Instead?

• Yes, but note that the added peel may affect the texture of the dressing, depending on the strength of your blender.
• If you do use fresh pears, you may want to consider carefully peeling them beforehand.
