For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper. To save time, you can use pre-made balsamic vinaigrette, but homemade always tastes best! If you don't have black walnuts, pecans or regular walnuts are a fine substitute. Try grilling the pears for a smoky twist. This salad is best served immediately to prevent the greens from wilting. Add grilled chicken or shrimp for a heartier meal.
