Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup uncooked quinoa
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 5 oz arugula (about 5–6 cups)
  • 1 can chickpeas (15 oz), drained
  • 2 medium avocados, cubed
  • 1 orange, chopped
  • 1/2 cup slivered almonds
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tbsp orange juice
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Rinse quinoa under cold water and combine with vegetable broth in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until liquid is absorbed. Let sit covered for another 10 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
  2. Toast slivered almonds on a sheet pan under the broiler for 2-3 minutes or in a pan over medium heat until golden brown.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, orange juice, lemon juice, crushed garlic, salt, and pepper.
  4. In a large salad bowl, toss arugula with half the dressing. Add cooked quinoa, chickpeas, oranges, avocado cubes, toasted almonds, and drizzle with remaining dressing.
  5. Gently toss to combine and serve immediately or chill for later enjoyment.
