1. Prepare the frozen peas: Place the frozen peas in a small saucepan of boiling water and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until just tender. Drain and transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain again and set aside.
2. Toast the walnuts: Place the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat. Toast them for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant and slightly browned. Remove them from the skillet and set aside to cool.
3. Chop the pears and celery: Core the pears and slice them into thin wedges. Slice the celery into thin diagonal pieces about 1/4-inch thick.
4. Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
5. Assemble the salad: In a large bowl, combine the salad greens, sliced pears, celery, peas, dried cranberries, and toasted walnuts.
6. Dress the salad: Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine, making sure everything is evenly coated.
