3/4 cup (150 g) quinoa
1/3 cup (65 g) diced red onion
1 Tbs. (15 ml) each: olive oil, red wine vinegar, and chia seeds
1 large organic orange, sliced into bite-size pieces
1/2 organic avocado, diced
1/4 cup (50 g) roasted organic sunflower or pumpkin seeds
1. Prepare the quinoa according to the package instructions.
