(Alternatively, use 1 1/2 pounds cooked, peeled beets.)

Cut into 1-inch wedges.

Meanwhile, combine water and farro in a small saucepan.

Drain off excess water, if necessary.

Spread the farro on a plate and let cool, about 5 minutes.

Combine vinegar, shallot, honey, mustard, thyme and salt in a large bowl.

Gradually whisk in oil.

Add arugula, chickpeas, parsley and the roasted beets and cooled farro and toss to coat.

Serve topped with mandarin segments and feta.

To make ahead

Refrigerate cooked beets, farro and dressing separately for up to 2 days.
