Ingredients in Orange Tahini Dressing
Ingredients in salad:
First, make the crispy quinoa. Preheat your oven to 380 degrees F. Add the quinoa to a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Drizzle oil over the top and add garlic powder, salt and pepper. Toss until the quinoa is evenly coated. Spread the quinoa in one even layer.
Bake the quinoa for 18-20 minutes. Keep an eye on it. Toss the quinoa around when it starts to turn golden to keep it from burning. Keep it in a single layer.
As the quinoa is baking, make the Orange Tahini Dressing. Place all of the ingredients into a small jar. Put the lid on and shake until combined. Alternatively, use a fork and whisk the dressing very well.
Once the quinoa is nice and crispy, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool.
Add the arugula to a salad bowl along with the navy beans, feta cheese, walnuts and cooled crispy quinoa.
Pour desired amount of the dressing over the salad, toss and enjoy!
