Quinoa actually is a seed, but it can be cooked and eaten like a grain. In this salad, sweet, juicy oranges complement the earthy flavor of the quinoa. We add olives for a briny note plus a handful of tender greens for color and freshness. Use whatever type of quinoa you’d like—white, red or rainbow (tricolor) all work well. If the quinoa you purchased is pre-rinsed, there’s no need to rinse and drain it before cooking. Serve on its own as a light main or as a side to seafood, chicken or pork.

Really tasty
Nice balance between the sweetness of the oranges and the saltiness of the olives.
