Easy to make quickly and tasted great. It was light but I am full. I didn't add chicken or the actual orange pieces, but added the juice from the orange I was already eating! Tasted it as is and thought it was great! About half way through I decided to add some Feta cheese and thought that was great too, but if you go this route, keep in mind that Feta could easily overpower this recipe.

This is an easy recipe. I changed it a bit. I simmered the chicken in chicken broth and then cooked the quinoa in the stock left over from the chicken. I added frozen peas, finely chopped celery and crasins. Instead of oranges, I used mandarin oranges.
I am planning to use this recipe to serve at a luncheon for 150 women. This salad tastes fresh and light.

This was so easy to make and had terrific flavor. It really doesn't make very much so I doubled it. Four adults devoured it. Will definitely make again!
