Steps:

In a small skillet over medium heat, we'll add walnuts and toast them for about 5 minutes, tossing often. Transfer them to a bowl to cool off while making the vinaigrette.
Combine grapeseed oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Whisk until blended; taste and adjust if necessary.
In a large salad bowl, add baby spinach leaves and pour in the vinaigrette before gently tossing until nicely coated.
Place the salad on serving plates and add a handful of pear pieces. Add shallot slices, pomegranate seeds and sprinkle on blue cheese and toasted walnuts.
