ROASTED BEET, PEAR AND FETA SALAD
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!

Steps:
- Prepare dressing and set aside.

- Gently toss the beets in a large salad bowl with the mache, red leaf lettuce, pears and feta. Garnish top with the toasted almonds.
- Serve dressing on side.
- NOTE: I guessed the yield.
ROASTED BEETS WITH FETA
This colorful and elegant side dish is so easy to make. I love making this with beets and shallots straight from our local farmers' market. Green onions or chives may be substituted for the shallot if you prefer.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Wrap each beet individually in aluminum foil, and place onto a baking sheet.
- Bake beets in preheated oven until easily pierced with a fork, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Once done, remove from oven, and allow to cool until you can handle them. Peel beets, and cut into 1/4 inch slices.
- While the beets are roasting, whisk together shallot, parsley, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and red wine vinegar in a bowl until blended; season to taste with salt and pepper, and set aside.
- To assemble the dish, place the warm, sliced beets onto a serving dish, pour vinaigrette over the beets, and sprinkle with feta cheese before serving.

Tips:
- Choose ripe and fresh ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the flavor of your salad. Look for pears that are ripe but still firm, beets that are deep red and smooth, and feta cheese that is creamy and crumbly.
- Roast the beets for a smoky flavor: Roasting the beets brings out their natural sweetness and gives them a slightly smoky flavor. You can roast the beets whole or cut them into wedges or cubes. Be sure to drizzle them with olive oil and season them with salt and pepper before roasting.
- Use a variety of greens: This salad is a great way to use up different types of greens from your garden or CSA box. Arugula, spinach, kale, and mixed greens all work well. You can also add some herbs, such as parsley or cilantro, for extra flavor.
- Don't overdress the salad: A light dressing is all you need to bring out the flavors of the salad. A simple vinaigrette made with olive oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper is a good choice. You can also add a dollop of honey or maple syrup for a touch of sweetness.
- Serve the salad immediately: This salad is best served immediately after it is made. The pears will start to brown if they sit for too long, so it's best to enjoy it fresh.
Conclusion:
This pear, beet, and feta salad is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy the flavors of fall. It's packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, and it's a great source of fiber. The roasted beets add a touch of sweetness and smokiness, while the feta cheese provides a salty and creamy contrast. This salad is perfect for a light lunch or dinner, and it's also a great side dish for roasted chicken or grilled fish.
