Pears, Beets and Feta Salad image

Provided by Gloria Pope

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cooked beets, cut into chunks (it saves time to buy the already cooked beets in the produce section of the grocery store.)
2 bosc or anjou pears, cut into chunks
½ iceberg lettuce head, chopped
small bunch arugula leaves or watercress
4 oz feta cheese crumbles
1/2 c pecans, halved
2 small avocados, cubed
DRESSING
1/2 lemon, juiced
2 Tbsp vegetable oil
2 Tbsp sugar
1/4 tsp salt

Steps:

1. Gently place all the salad ingredients in a large bowl.
2. Mix the dressing ingredients in a blender.
3. Pour dressing over salad immediately before serving and gently toss. (The salad quickly becomes saturated with the dressing and isn't as good an hour later...so don't put the dressing on too early.)
