  • 1 Beet
  • 1/2 bunch spinach
  • 1/2 bunch arugula
  • 6 fresh figs

  • 4 Tbsp pomegranate seeds
  • 4 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil (for the vinaigrette)

  5. Once the beets are done marinating serve the spinach and arugula on plates. Add the beets, figs, pomegranate and pecans and drizzle with the rest of the vinaigrette.
