Preparation Steps
Step 1
Thoroughly rinse the quinoa under running water. Bring 2.5 cups of water to a boil in a saucepan, add the quinoa, and cook for 15 minutes until fully cooked. The grains should become soft and translucent.
Step 2
Boiled chicken meat, cut into medium-sized cubes. Peel the red onion and cut into thin half-rings.
Step 3
Heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Toast the walnuts for 3 minutes, stirring constantly, until they are lightly browned and fragrant.
Step 4
Cut off the top and bottom of the orange. Place it on a board and carefully cut off the peel along with the white layer. With a sharp knife, cut out the segments of pulp between the films, collecting the juice in a separate container.
Step 5
In a large salad bowl, combine cooked quinoa, diced chicken, fresh spinach, red onion half-rings, orange segments, and toasted walnuts.
Step 6
To make the dressing, combine the orange juice (collected when cutting the oranges), lime juice, liquid honey, olive oil, and sriracha hot sauce in a small jar. Add salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Seal the jar tightly with a lid and shake vigorously to combine all ingredients well and emulsify. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently.
Enjoy your meal!
