Boil the beets on medium heat for 45 mins or until easily pierced through with a knife. The skin will easily peel off. Once slightly cooled remove the skin of the beets and slice into cubes. In a bowl top spinach with sliced beets, diced pickled beets, feta cheese, and candied pecans with the lemon vinaigrette and serve.
For Lemon Vinaigrette
-
In a small blender (I used my Blendtec Twister Jar) mix all ingredients together on setting 1 for 20 seconds.
