In a small bowl, whisk the rice vinegar and fish sauce with the remaining 1 Tbs lemon juice, 1/2 Tbs. soy sauce, 1 Tbs sesame oil, and 1 Tbs. sesame seeds. In a medium bowl, toss teh lettuces with 3 Tbs. of teh dressing and a sprinkle of salt. Divide among four dinner plates. Core and thinly slice teh remaining 1 1/2 pears.
