For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of Dijon mustard to the vinaigrette. Pecans or almonds can be substituted for walnuts. If you don't have fresh pears, try using apples or dried cranberries. The vinaigrette can be made a day ahead of time. To prevent the salad from becoming soggy, dress it just before serving.
