Instructions
First, cook your quinoa. In a small saucepan, bring the rinsed quinoa and water to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover, and allow to simmer until the water is absorbed, about 12-15 minutes. Fluff the quinoa with a fork and allow it to cool.
Meanwhile, put the avocado chunks, orange segments (if you simply peel your orange with your hands, you will have pith and membranes in your salad that will make it more bitter. Cut the ends off of the orange, then cut away the peel with a knife. Then use the knife to slice the orange, then cut each segment into smaller pieces), and pistachios into a medium bowl. When the quinoa is cooled, add that to the bowl also.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, honey, and fresh ginger. Drizzle the dressing on the ingredients in the other bowl and gently stir to mix everything together and coat the salad with the dressing. Taste and add salt and pepper if desired (I did not). Enjoy!
