Quick & Easy Quinoa Orange Salad

Ingredients

  • 1 cup cooked quinoa, cooled 
  • 2 small oranges, segmented 
  • 1 celery rib, finely chopped 
  • 20 grams Brazil nuts, chopped 
  • 1 green onion, sliced 
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley, finely chopped

For the dressing 

  • ½ tsp orange juice (plus juice from above) 
  • ½ tsp fresh ginger, grated 
  • 1 tsp white wine vinegar 
  • 1 small clove garlic, minced 
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • A pinch of cinnamon
  • 1 tsp Matador Marmalade

Serves 2

Preparation

  1. Prepare quinoa as per package instructions.
  2. Cut the orange into bite-sized segments, working over a bowl in order not to lose any of the juice. When you’ve got all the segments done, make sure to squeeze all the juice out of the “membranes” that are left behind.
  3. Transfer that juice to your mini blender or food processor. Add in the ginger, vinegar, garlic, salt, pepper, cinnamon and marmalade. Blend until well combined.
  4. To the segments, add in the quinoa, celery, brazil nuts, onion and parsley. Combine with the dressing.
  5. Serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to serve.
