Quinoa Salad With Watercress, Oranges, Avocado, And Almonds, With Citrus Vinaigrette Recipe
- 1 cup quinoa, rinsed
- Kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh juice from about 2 limes
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed juice from 1 orange
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 6 tablespoons olive oil
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 (4-ounce) bag watercress, baby arugula or a blend
- 2 medium oranges, cut into
- 1 avocado, peeled, cored and thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion, soaked in water for 10 minutes
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds
- Bring 1-3/4 cups water and 1/2 teaspoon salt to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add the quinoa and reduce heat to low; cover and cook until quinoa is tender, about 15 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- Whisk together the lime juice, orange juice, and honey. Whisking constantly, slowly drizzle in oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Toss quinoa with about 1/4 of the dressing and season to taste with salt and pepper. Divide amongst serving plates or place on a large serving platter. Toss greens, orange segments, avocado, onions, and almonds in a large bowl with just enough dressing to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Stop quinoa with dressed greens and serve immediately.
