  1. Wash and trim (but don’t yet peel) beets, then place in a microwave-proof dish with 1 in. (2.5 cm) of water, and cover. Cook on high for 10-12 minutes, turning beets halfway through; let cool.
  2. Meanwhile, for dressing, combine vinegar, orange juice and peel, garlic and Dijon mustard. Whisk in olive oil, and season with pepper.
  3. When beets are cool, peel and slice. Combine with parsley, prunes and chickpeas. Drizzle beet salad with dressing and serve over baby spinach, if desired. Top with feta.
