Add the wheat berries (or farro) and two cups water to a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to medium and cover the pan with a lid. Cook for 25 minutes, until the wheat berries are tender. While the wheat berries are cooking, wrap the beets in wet paper towels and place in a microwave-safe dish. Cook on high for seven to eight minutes, until the beets are tender. Remove from the microwave and allow to cool slightly. While the beets are cooling, prepare the dressing. Add the vinegar and mustard to a small food processor or mixing bowl. Add the oil in a steady stream while mixing or processing. Stir in the pepper, shallots and parsley. Just before the wheat berries are cooked, remove the lid and add the spinach. Stir to combine and replace the lid. Chop the now cooled beets into bite-size pieces. Toss the cooked wheat berries and spinach with the dressing and beets. Transfer to a serving dish or plates and add the cheese. Serve immediately or see below for make-ahead directions.
