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!
