Wintry Citrus Rice and Quinoa Salad

Easy Cooking, Great Results

One of the things I love about this wintry citrus rice and quinoa salad is how bright it is, both in taste and appearance. At a certain time of year when the days can be a bit monotone, the vivid colors of this salad are a welcome break. i like to use a mix of bright naval oranges and deep red blood oranges to maximize the sunshine-on-a-plate effect. My other favorite thing about this salad is how quick and easy it is to put together. onion and red pepper get a quick sauté before adding the basmati rice and quinoa blend. while that’s cooking, I slice a few oranges and get the toppings ready to go.
