Boil the beets: In a medium pot, add 1 quart water and bring to a boil. Once boiling, add 10.5 oz beets, lower the heat to medium, and simmer for 20 minutes uncovered.
Drain and cut the beets: Once cooked, drain and leave to cool for about 15 minutes. When the beets are cool enough to handle, cut them into thin wedges and set aside.
Make the dressing: In a small bowl, combine 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/8 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp pepper. Whisk vigorously and set aside.
Arrange the salad: Place the 2.6 oz arugula, cooked beets, 8 oz oranges, 1/4 cup feta cheese, and 1/2 cup walnuts on a large serving plate.
Serve: Take a portion of the salad on your plate and drizzle the dressing on top. You can choose to toss the salad or leave it as is. Garnish with chopped parsley, and serve.
