Instructions

1. Combine all dressing ingredients in a jar, cover, and shake well. Set aside.
In a large bowl combine lettuce, apples, pears, bacon, onion, cranberries, and feta cheese.
Add walnuts to a medium pan and stir over medium heat on the stove for 1-2 minutes until toasted. Add brown sugar and cinnamon and continue to stir until sugar is dissolved and walnuts are coated in the sugar mixture. Transfer to a glass plate or a metal serving pan to cool. Once cooled, roughly chop and add to the salad.
Pour dressing over salad and toss to combine. Serve immediately.

Notes

Make ahead: prepare as written but do not toss with the salad dressing. Store the salad and dressing in airtight containers in fridge up to 14 hours before serving. Toss with dressing just before serving.
