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!

This salad is great served with warm pears. Roast the pears immediately after the beets and toss them into the salad while still warm. Also the flavors of watercress and blue cheese just set the deal!
