Roast the beets for one hour until the beets are tender when poked with a fork.
3. Drain the sliced, canned pears and the feta cheese. Crumble the feta cheese. Wash the radishes and sliced thinly. Hold under refrigeration at <4°C/40°F.
4. Combine the beets, radishes, and spring mix in a stainless steel mixing bowl. Toss with raspberry vinaigrette dressing.
5. At the point of service, portion the 500 mls/2 cups of salad onto a plate. Sprinkle 3 Tbsp/45 mL using #20 scoop of feta cheese over the top of the salad and 125 mls/1/2 cup of sliced pears. Arrange 60 g/2 oz of turkey strips onto the salad. May garnish with walnut pieces if desired.
