Make the vinaigrette:

Add the vinaigrette ingredients to a mason jar, cover, and shake vigorously for 10 seconds until combined. (Alternately, you can whisk the ingredients together in a bowl until combined.)

Toss the salad:

Add salad greens, pears, avocado, red onion, candied walnuts and gorgonzola cheese to a large salad bowl. Drizzle evenly with the vinaigrette, then toss until combined. Taste and season with extra salt and pepper, if needed.
