Salad Greens with Anjou Pear and Rice Vinegar Dressing

You can certainly use Romaine lettuce in this salad, but the peppery arugula and bitter radicchio are a nice contrast to the other flavors of the menu.
Ingredients

- 1 small head radicchio, trimmed, quartered and leaves separated
- 2 cups arugula
- 1 -- ripe Anjou pear, halved, cored and cut into bite-size pieces
- 1/2 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
- 1/2 -- English cucumber, thinly sliced
- 4 teaspoons seasoned rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- -- freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Combine lettuce, radicchio and arugula in a large shallow serving bowl; toss well. Top with pear, walnuts and cucumber.
