I love this healthy quinoa salad full of fresh herbs, tart oranges, creamy avocado, and crunchy toasted almonds.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

You can make the quinoa, dressing, and toasted almonds up to three days ahead of time, adding the other ingredients and combining with dressing just before serving.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The herbaceous salad dressing packs a punch of flavor that highlights the oranges and avocados and works with most vegetables.\u00a0If you do not eat quinoa or you are looking for a low-carb salad, use romaine lettuce or mixed spring greens in place of the quinoa.<\/span><\/p>\n
