Splendid Blood Orange Olive Oil Quinoa Salad

The hint of orange mingles perfectly with jicama, bell peppers, and snow peas. The key to this salad is to let it set over night. The flavors will grow, along with its sweet aroma. Easy to make, and can be prepared in steps. You can cook the Quinoa one day and cut the veggies another. Nothing strenuous about this recipe.

I purchased the Blood Orange Olive Oil from the Temecula Olive Oil Company. It's a sweet and delicate oil. The aroma is very pleasant. Here is the link to the oil.
