Cook Quinoa
Rinse the red quinoa under cold water. In a medium pot, combine 1 cup of quinoa with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
2
Chop Vegetables
While the quinoa is cooking, finely chop the red onion, celery, cucumber, and avocado. Grate the fresh ginger and set aside.
3
Prepare Orange and Beets
Zest and juice the orange. Peel and chop the baby beets into bite-sized pieces.
4
Combine Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, chopped vegetables, grated ginger, pumpkin seeds, orange juice, and zest. Gently mix until well combined.
5
Serve
Serve the quinoa salad fresh, garnished with extra pumpkin seeds if desired.
