1
Cook Quinoa
Rinse 1 cup of quinoa under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer for 15 minutes until the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
2
Prepare Salad Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, diced avocado, drained mandarin oranges, chopped red onion, and cooked quinoa.
3
Add Cheese and Nuts
Crumble the goat cheese over the salad and sprinkle the Marcona almonds.
4
Make Vinaigrette
In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of white balsamic vinegar, the juice of 1 orange, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5
Toss and Serve
Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad and gently toss to combine. Serve immediately.
