Method

Prepare Quinoa

  1. 1

    Rinse Quinoa

    Place 1 cup of quinoa in a fine mesh strainer and rinse under cold water for about 2 minutes to remove any bitterness.

  2. 2

    Cook Quinoa

    In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until all the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Fluff Quinoa

    After resting, fluff the quinoa with a fork and set aside to cool slightly.

Prepare Toppings

  1. 4

    Dice Avocado

    Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Dice the avocado into small cubes.

  2. 5

    Slice Radish

    Wash the radishes and slice them thinly.

  3. 6

    Segment Oranges

    Peel the oranges and segment them by cutting between the membranes to release the segments. Discard the membranes.

  4. 7

    Rinse Beans

    Open the can of black beans, rinse under cold water, and drain.

  5. 8

    Chop Mint

    Wash the mint leaves, pat dry, and chop roughly.

Make Citrus Vinaigrette

    Combine Ingredients

    In a small bowl or jar, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Assemble Bowl

    Drizzle Vinaigrette

    Drizzle the citrus vinaigrette over the assembled bowl, ensuring an even distribution.
