Place beets in a 3-qt. rectangular baking dish. Drizzle with 1 Tbsp. oil and sprinkle with salt. Add 2 Tbsp. water, the garlic, and thyme sprig. Bake, covered, 45 to 50 minutes or until beets can be pierced easily with a paring knife; let cool. Using a paper towel, rub skins off beets. Cut beets into wedges. Toss with 1 Tbsp. oil, 1/4 tsp. salt, and 1/8 tsp. ground black pepper. Meanwhile, in a large saucepan with a tight-fitting lid combine 2 qt. water, the sorghum, and 1/2 tsp. salt. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, 50 to 60 minutes or until tender. Drain off any remaining liquid; let cool slightly. While beets and sorghum cook, in a medium bowl combine chickpeas with remaining 1 Tbsp. olive oil and a pinch of salt. Add the lemon zest and juice. Zest the orange, then add zest to chickpeas. Peel then section orange over the bowl to catch any juice. For dressing: In a blender or small food processor combine mayonnaise, sour cream, and feta; blend until smooth. Divide sorghum among four bowls; top with roasted beets, orange sections, chickpeas, arugula, cucumber, and avocado. Pour any remaining citrus juices in the bowl over top. Top with dressing. Serves 4. Tips *Use sorghum, but any cooked whole grain with a mild flavor would work here to absorb some of the citrusy juices.
