Cook the bacon in a large saute pan over medium high heat until slightly crisp, about 10 minutes. Add the onions, 1 teaspoon of salt and the pepper and cook, stirring until the onions are wilted. Add the walnuts and cook another 5 minutes, stirring often. Remove from heat and add the garlic, stir for about 30 seconds. Add the vinegar and oil and mix well.
