The beets, pears, and almonds marry perfectly with the peppery, minty dressing in this salad. Serve for brunch or with a family dinner. I like to keep the beets, almonds, and lettuce in separate containers and serve over a few days. I cut the pears up when I am ready to serve and dress individual salads then. Serve with your favorite salad dressing or the Pepper Mint Dressing.
