Mesclun and Roasted Pears with Grainy Mustard Vinaigrette

Grainy mustard is a piquant counterpoint to the fruity undertones of the apple juice and cider vinegar in the dressing that coats this autumnal salad. Roasted pears give the salad substance and sweetness, and toasted pumpkin seeds add an appealing crunch.
