Endive and Pear Salad

I actually created this, I guess based on memories of salads eaten in restaurants.

Ingredients
>    Lettuce, torn into bite-sized pieces
>    Rocket, torn into bite-sized pieces
>    2 Endive, torn into bite-sized pieces
>    Handful of walnuts
>    2 pears, peeled, quartered, and sliced very thinly
>    2 fresh figs (can use dried), cut into pieces
You can use apples, but then replace the figs with dates and add pomegranate seeds (if available)
Dressing
>    4 Tbls olive oil
>    2 Tbls white wine vinegar
>    1 tsp clear honey
>     ¼ tsp Dijon mustard
>    Salt and pepper

Steps
  1.    Tear all the greens up.
2.    Peel and thinly slice the fruit.
3.    Cut the dried fruit into pieces.
4.    Put into a bowl.
5.    In a screw-top jar, mix all the dressing ingredients.
6.    Pour over the salad just before serving.
