ROASTED BEET, PEAR AND FETA SALAD



Roasted Beet, Pear and Feta Salad image

I cut this salad recipe out of a weekly local newspaper the other day and haven't had the chance to test it. I would like to try golden beets for the red beets. If you cannot find mache (lamb's lettuce), substitute butter lettuce or fresh mixed greens. Serve with crusty French bread!

2 Anjou pears, firm but ripe, cored, cut into 1/4-inch slices

  • NOTE: I guessed the yield.

LAYERED PEAR, FETA, CRANBERRY, SALAD WITH A BALSAMIC DRESSING



Layered Pear, Feta, Cranberry, Salad With a Balsamic Dressing image

This is just a PRETTY salad. I like to serve this in a glass bowl so you can see the layers. Now obviously you can just toss it all together, but for a dinner party or pot luck dinner, this is just really nice. Simple ingredients and it goes together in just minutes. Now I use my basic vinaigrette which you will have a little left over, or if you want just use a good store bought dressing. My secret for this salad is to add a little honey to the dressing that goes really well with the pears and the cranberries. You could always add a little honey to a store bought dressing to achieve the same taste.
