pear dressing recipe

I have never been a huge fan of store-bought salad dressing. The various flavors on the market always sound so delicious and then once poured over my salad… well, they never taste nearly as good as I thought they would. For the past few months, I have been making homemade salad dressing or just using olive oil with freshly squeezed lemon juice and a little salt and pepper. It’s pretty simple, but in my opinion, better tasting and better for ya than store-bought.

Also, I have been so adventurous with my salads lately! I look in the fridge and basically throw in any veggies and fruits I have on hand… nothing is off-limits. Tonight I threw in tomatoes, apples and walnuts. I LOVE throwing nuts in salad… so yummy! Some other ingredients that tend to be in lots of my salad creations – red onions, spinach, avocado, berries, carrots and cucumbers. And one ingredient that I literally throw in most salads is fresh cilantro… I love the flavor it adds. Give it a try and let me know what you think!

Also, I’d love to hear what your favorite salad ingredients are. I am always looking for new ideas to change-up the salads we eat on a regular basis.

Here’s one of my salad dressing creations I concocted recently…

    My fav: spinach, red or yellow peppers, raspberries, pecans and feta with a maple dressing…yum!

  2. Susan

    I often use 1/4 C cottage cheese for dressing, because I also do not like store bought dressings.

    Sliced Bosc pears are great in salads, they are somewhere between and apple and a Bartlett pear on the hardness/sweetness scale. Also they do not turn brown like the Bartlett pears.

    Thanks for posting this recipe! I tried the dressing out a couple of days ago. The mustard flavor was a little strong – think I will half it next time. Overall though – I really liked it! (BTW – I love that you are posting recipes from your Paleo diet!)

    Best salad dressing ever Collin! I’m planning on doing it for Easter for our big get together. I’m thinking people are going to be raving about it. Thanks woman! ;-D

    What a total waste of ingredients! I wanted a salad dressing that tasted like pears, what I got was a dressing that tasted like vinegar and mustard. Horrible recipe!
