Ingredients:

Serving

3 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup apple juice
1/4 cup canola oil
4 tsp dijon mustard
1 tbsp honey
1 tsp poppy seed
salt and pepper (optional)
10 cups red leaf lettuce, rinsed and well-drained and coarsely chopped
2/3 cup walnut pieces, toasted
3 pears, cored, and chopped into 3/4-inch pieces (or slice, try coring the pears by cutting in half and core with a melon baller)

Directions:

Add vinegar,juice,oil, mustard, and honey to food processor or blender and pulse until well-combined. Stir in poppy seeds and add salt and pepper to taste, if desired. Reserve 1/4 cup of dressing and set aside.
Add lettuce and walnuts to (very!) large bowl and pour remaining dressing on top, and toss to coat well. (I would add the walnuts at the end; they tend to fall to the bowl's bottom.).
Divide lettuce among eight individual salad plates or borls. Add pears to large bowl and toss with 1/4 cup dressing, or arrange on salads and drizzle with 1/4 cup dressing. Spoon pears evenly on salads.
