Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Prepare a hot fire in a charcoal grill or preheat a gas grill or broiler.
  2. Away from the heat source, lightly coat the grill rack or broiler pan with cooking spray. Position the cooking rack 4-6 inches from the heat source.
  3. In a small frying pan over medium heat, combine the brown sugar, water, and pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves.
  4. Stir in the walnuts, reduce the heat to low, and cook for 30 seconds. Remove from the heat and quickly spread the nuts on a sheet of parchment (baking) paper or a plate. Set aside and let cool.
  5. Brush the pear wedges with lemon juice and arrange on the grill or broiler pan. Grill or broil turning once, until the pears begin to brown, 3-4 minutes total. Set aside.
  6. To make the vinaigrette in a small bowl, whisk together the 2 Tablespoons lemon juice, the rice vinegar, the mustard, and the shallot. Add the salt and pepper and whisk to blend. While whisking, slowly add the olive oil in a thin stream until emulsified.
  7. In a large bowl, combine the watercress and blue cheese. Pour the vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to mix well and coat evenly.
  8. To serve, divide the salad among individual plates.
  9. Place 2 pear wedges on each, then sprinkle with the walnuts
