Ingredients

1 cup red or white quinoa, well rinsed in a fine-mesh strainer
1/2 cup pecans
1 orange
1 small shallot, thinly sliced
1 1/2-inch piece ginger, grated
1/4 cup olive oil
1 large fennel bulb, thinly sliced
1 bunch radishes, trimmed, scrubbed, and thinly sliced
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 400°. Cook quinoa in a large saucepan of boiling salted water until tender, 10–15 minutes. Drain; return to pot. Cover and let stand 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

    Step 2

    Meanwhile, toast pecans on a rimmed baking sheet in oven until aromatic and beginning to brown, 5–8 minutes. Let cool.

    Step 3

    Using a sharp knife, remove all peel and white pith from orange. Working over a large bowl, cut between membranes to release segments into bowl. Squeeze membranes to release juice into bowl. Drain segments into separate bowl and return 2 Tbsp. juice to bowl.

    Step 4

    Add shallot and ginger to large bowl with orange juice. Slowly whisk in oil. Add quinoa, pecans, orange segments, fennel, and radishes; toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper.
