Creamy Chevre & Peppercorn Dressing
Creamy and tangy, perfect for crisp romaine.
Makes 1-3/4 cups (28 tablespoons)
Preparation: 10 minutes, plus 30 minutes resting time
Insert the metal blade. With the machine running, drop the shallots down the small feed tube;
process 5 seconds to chop. Add the drained green peppercorns; chop 10 seconds. Remove
and reserve. Process the chevre, sour cream, lemon juice, white wine vinegar and water until
smooth, 30 seconds. Scrape the work bowl. Return the shallot and peppercorn mixture to the
work bowl; add the salt. With the machine running, add the olive oil through the hole in the
small pusher, processing until completely incorporated and emulsified. Let sit for 30 minutes

refrigerator.
