  1. In a small pan over medium heat, melt the butter and then add the walnuts and a small pinch of salt.
  2. Toast the walnuts in the pan, stirring frequently, until lightly browned, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the walnuts from the pan and place on a paper towel lined plate to cool.
  3. Place the dressing ingredients, except sesame seeds, into a high-sided container. Blend the ingredients with an immersion blender until emulsified. Taste for seasoning. If needed, add a small pinch of salt. Stir in the sesame seeds at the end.
  4. Assemble the salad by tossing together the lettuce, blue cheese, cooled walnuts, pears and desired amount of dressing in a large bowl.
