Creamy Pear Balsamic Dressing

Simply Yummy

This is a versatile and easily prepared dressing which can be used for salads, as a dip for artichokes, or simply along with sliced avocado.  Nan also suggests spooning a small amount over grilled asparagus.

• ½ cup good quality mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon White Balsamic with Pear Vinegar
• 1 teaspoon country style Dijon mustard (or see below)
• black pepper

With a whisk combine the pear vinegar and mustard with the mayonnaise in a small bowl.  Season with fresh cracked black pepper and salt if necessary to taste.  As a salad dressing, this will dress four dinner salads.

Any of the ingredients can be adjusted up or down to suit your taste.  In fact, Nan never measures the ingredients for this salad - she just uses a heaping spoon of this and a dash of that.  Also, in our kitchen we have tried this with other styles of mustard with great results, including spicy mustard and even a blood orange mustard.
