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!
Champagne pear dressing in a mason jar surrounded by pears, champagne vinegar and greenery.
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.

Can I use fresh pears for dressing instead of canned? Canned have a lot of sugar
You certainly can, just keep in mind that the skin of the pear may slightly alter the texture of the dressing. But the bonus is you get a lot of extra fiber! Let me know how it turns out for you.
Super easy and delicious recipe! Thanks for sharing 😊
