Ingredients


Dressing Ingredients
1 can (15 ounces) pear halves or slices in juice (reserve 1/3 cup juice)
1/3 cup white wine vinegar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Pinch cayenne pepper

Salad Ingredients
1 small red onion, halved and thinly sliced

Cooking Directions


To make dressing, purée all dressing ingredients, including reserved 1/3 cup juice from pears, in a blender or food processor until smooth.

Soak onion in ice water for at least 10 minutes; drain.

Toast walnut pieces. The easiest way is in a microwave oven: place walnuts on a microwave-safe pie plate or flat dish; heat on full power for 3 minutes.Taste to check that they are toasted enough. If not, cook for another minute.

Toss lettuce and onions with dressing.

Garnish with toasted walnuts.
