Chef tips
Use very cold fruit for a thicker result without needing too much ice. For an even silkier texture, blend the cucumber with the kefir first, then add the remaining ingredients.
Substitutions
You can replace the pear with a mild green apple for a tangier profile. Dill can be replaced with fresh mint in a smaller amount. If you do not have kefir, use plain drinkable yogurt, though the flavor will change slightly.
