1/4 cup pomegranate juice
2 tsp. HEINZ Tarragon Vinegar
1/2 tsp. zest and 1 Tbsp. juice from 1 lemon
1-1/2 tsp. GREY POUPON Dijon Mustard
1 clove garlic, minced
1/8 tsp. ground black pepper
1/2 cup olive oil
6 ripe pears, cut in half, cored

Blend juice, vinegar, lemon zest, juice, mustard, garlic and pepper in blender until smooth. Gradually add oil, blending until well combined after each addition. Reserve 1/4 cup juice mixture. Refrigerate remaining juice mixture until ready to use.
