Portobello's Beets

On vacation one year we ate at Portobello in downtown Disney. I ordered a salad with beets. They were so good I knew instantly they were made in house. My kids loved them, and soon I was sharing them. So I asked for the recipe. This is what they sent me.

I am making these for a birthday dinner tomorrow night. They did not say how much pickling spice so I am going with 1 tbsp. this is the best picked beet recipe. Grab some beets at the farmers market and impress your family.
