Grape Vinaigrette Recipes

Steps:

• I CANNOT REMEMBER RECIPE EXACTLY, I MAKE MY ADJUSTMENTS TO TASTE PLEASE FEEL FREE TO TWEAK.
• In blender or food processor, blend grapes until well broken down.
• Add cilantro and pulse until chopped and blended; if you use stems pulse longer, you want a fairly smooth consistency.
• Add lemon juice,honey and oil pulse until blended.
• add salt,pepper and cumin to taste.
• Everyone likes it a bit different.
• Note: this dressing must be refrigerated, so that is why i don't use an oil that will solidify, can use olive oil but you will have to remember to take out to warm up. Or for a healthy version reduce or leave oil out.

Steps:

• whisk together the first 5 elements.
• pour in olive oil and whisk.
• Then add the oregano and sumac and mix well.

Steps:

• For the pear vinaigrette: Heat the pear juice on stovetop over medium heat to reduce to 1/4 of its original amount, for 40 minutes, until caramelized. Set aside and let cool.
• In a bowl, mix the reduced pear juice, cider vinegar, maple syrup, and Dijon mustard. Slowly add the canola oil whisking constantly. Season the vinaigrette with salt, and pepper, to taste. Add a little more pear juice or water if the vinaigrette is too thick. Set aside.
• For the salad:
• In a pan, add the olive oil and toast the pine nuts on medium-high heat. Keep an eye on them because they tend to burn fast.
• Place the endives and grapes in a bowl, add the vinaigrette and mix well. Transfer the salad mixture in the serving bowls and garnish with pears, pine nuts and cheese.
