Moroccan Orange Salad With Arugula And Quinoa
- 2 tablespoons sherry wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice
- 2 teaspoons sweet paprika (I use Pimenton de la Vera)
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon salt, to taste
- 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 large navel oranges
- 4 handfuls arugula (enough for two servings)
- 1 cup cooked quinoa grain (see headnote)
- 2 large shallots, peeled and slivered
- 20 kalamata olives, halved
- 3 tablespoons fresh mint leaves, chopped
- zest of 1 large lime
- 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- Make the dressing by whisking together the sherry wine vinegar, orange juice and spices until spices are dissolved. Whisk in the olive oil until emulsified. Set aside.
- Slice off the top and bottom of the oranges. Setting them on their flat bottoms, carefully slice away the peel and pith, leaving the fruit completely intact. Slice horizontally in 1/4" -1/2" slices. Quarter each slice into bite-sized pieces if desired.
- In a large bowl, combine the arugula, cooked quinoa, olives, shallot, mint leaves and lime zest. Add the orange slices and drizzle 1/2 the dressing over the mixture. Toss and add remaining dressing as desired.
- Heap on a plate and top with the feta cheese.
