The second foundational element of my breakfast salad is a great salad dressing. I wanted something sweet and fruity and not so savory for the breakfast table. Salad greens are already savory enough! I settled on using pears, being perfectly in season these days.
It's a simple dressing that I made in my VitaMix just to make sure the fruit was broken down completely. A food processor would work just as well. I hesitate to call this a vinaigrette because it's a rather thick and creamy dressing, yet has no creamy ingredients. Feel free to play with the liquids to pear ratio if you'd like something a bit more runny, but I quite like that this dressing sticks to the greens!
