Ingredients
- Green onions
- Onion
- Green onion
- Avocado
- Onions
- Orange
Directions
- For the crispy quinoa, move an oven rack to the top third and heat the broiler on high. Scatter the cooked quinoa across a rimmed baking sheet. Broil for 5 minutes, then stir the quinoa and turn the pan. Continue broiling for another 3 minutes, checking now and then, until the quinoa is deeper in color and crisp without burning. Set it aside to cool slightly before adding it to the salad.
- For the vinaigrette, combine all of the ingredients in a mason jar with a snug lid. Shake hard until the dressing comes together.
- On a serving platter, combine the lettuce, oranges, avocado, green onions, crispy quinoa and dressing. Toss everything thoroughly and serve right away.
