I thought this up while shopping the other day trying to find inspiration for a potluck dish. I Camiseta Selección de fútbol de Senegal was aiming for something light and summer-y. This is a great summer BBQ pick because it’s not mayo based so you can leave it on the table for a while – but I’m pretty sure it will disappear before that!

Quinoa summer Salad with Orange Dressing

Ingredients:

2 Camiseta Villarreal CF cups quinoa

4 cups broth (chicken or vegetable will work)

1 can kidney beans, drained and rinsed

3 green onions, chopped

1/2 cup slivered almonds

1/2 cup cranberries

optional: 2 cups chopped chicken

Dressing:

1/3 cup orange juice

1 tsp. lemon juice

1 Tb. olive oil

1 Tb. balsamic vinegar

1 Tb. orange zest

salt & pepper

1-2Tb. honey or sugar

Directions: cook quinoa according to package directions in broth instead of water. Fluff when done.

While quinoa is cooking prepare dressing.

Mix: Orange juice, lemon juice, olive oil, balsamic, orange zest, honey, salt & pepper. (I put 1 Tb. of chopped shallots in this batch, but it was too onion-y for some.)

Combine quinoa, beans, onions, almonds & cranberries. toss with dressing. season with S&P to taste.

Optional: add chicken to make this a main dish.

Enjoy!

Have a good, safe Labor Day weekend!
