Instructions
Cook quinoa in water according to packet directions. If the quinoa brand is not pre-rinsed, rinse quinoa in water before cooking.
Wash beets and remove the greens and long stringy tips.
Place into a small saucepan and cover with water.
Boil the beets in a medium heat until a fork can be inserted without resistance.
Remove the beets from pan and allow to cool to room temperature.
Once beets have cooled, rub the outside with a paper towel to remove the skin.
Mix the quinoa, oranges, and beets.
Serve warm or cold. Sprinkle with sea salt and drizzle with honey or maple syrup.
