To quickly feed your family dinner, sometimes it is enough to prepare one salad, but a very satisfying one. Like this quinoa and chicken salad. We based the recipe on quinoa (cook for 15 minutes) and ready-made chicken meat; boiled or baked chicken will do. We added walnuts (you can take almonds or pistachios), orange and spinach to the main ingredients. And we made a spicy dressing from freshly squeezed citrus juice, honey, olive oil and hot sauce - it will give our dish the necessary freshness and lightness. A delicious quinoa salad for 4 people is ready in 25 minutes.

Rinse the quinoa well. Bring 2.5 cups of water to a boil, add quinoa and cook for 15 minutes until tender.

Cut the chicken into medium cubes. Peel the onion and cut into thin half rings.

Heat a dry frying pan and toast the walnuts, 3 minutes.

Cut off the bottom of the orange, place it on a board and carefully cut off the peel along with the white layer. Using a sharp knife, cut out slices of pulp between the films, reserving the juice.

In a large salad bowl, combine quinoa, chicken, spinach, onion, oranges and walnuts.

To make the dressing, combine orange juice, lime juice, honey, olive oil and hot sauce in a small jar. Add salt and pepper, cover and shake vigorously to emulsify. Pour dressing over salad and toss to coat.
