Spring Quinoa Salad with Florida Orange Juice Vinaigrette

This fresh, easy grain salad has spring vegetables, chickpeas, and a vinaigrette made with Florida Orange Juice! Your whole family will love it.

Ingredients

Dressing:

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 5 tablespoons Florida Orange Juice
  • 1 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 smashed garlic clove
  • 1/2 teaspoon Dijon

Quinoa:

  • 2 cups dry quinoa rinsed
  • 3 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup Florida Orange Juice
  • 3 + cups of mixed vegetables: I used shredded purple Brussels sprouts steamed asparagus, red onion, and microgreens
  • 1 15 oz can chickpeas
  • 1.5 cups fresh mixed herbs chopped: I used flat-leaf parsley, tarragon, and marjoram

Instructions

  1. Whisk together the dressing ingredients and set aside.
  2. Place broth, Florida Orange Juice and quinoa together in a pot and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook, covered, for 40 minutes.
  3. Remove from heat and cool slightly (adding some herbs to hot quinoa will turn the herbs brown).
  4. Fold in vegetables, herbs, and chickpeas,
  5. Add dressing and toss to combine. Serve.
