Sweet, juicy mandarin oranges, slightly bitter crisp radicchio, deep earthy kale, and crunchy nutty quinoa tossed with a balsamic anchovy vinaigrette-- this beautiful vibrant salad is bursting with flavours and naturally gluten free. I used black quinoa here, but you can use whatever kind you like.

- Place all the dressing ingredients in a food processor on medium speed until combined.
- In a medium saucepan, bring the vegetable broth to a simmer over medium heat. Add the quinoa, cover, turn the heat down to medium low, and cook until the quinoa is tender and the liquid is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let stand for 3 to 5 minutes. Uncover and fluff with a fork. Let cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
- Toss the black quinoa, mandarin oranges, kale, and radicchio together. Add some of the vinaigrette, toss, and serve.

Yum - sweet, bitter and nutty all in one dish.
A fabulous salad! So colorful, healthy and mouthwatering.
Cheers,

Gorgeous. ..and the vinaigrette sounds unique and tasty!
Mmm.. great way of using Kale! I am not very good at preparing it I must admit. Great combination with mandarine and quinoa it takes away its bitter side. Brava!
Nutty with a tad of bitter - sounds and looks delicious Angie. You continue to amaze with beautiful salads.

The anchovy dressing sounds so interesting with the sweet mandarin oranges - which I have been craving. Love your quinoa salads Angie!
This is one gorgeous winter salad. I am always looking for ways to jazz them up during this time of year! Gorgeous presentation!
I like the vibrant colors of the salad and bold-delicious combination of flavors from the vinaigrette. Beautiful salad. :)
Beautiful salad... I love the black quinoa! This looks like the perfect meal to eat after Thanksgiving :)
I've never tried black quinoa but it sounds like something I would like. Especially with that anchovy dressing!
Sounds wonderful and it's so pretty too Angie.

What a gorgeous salad Angie, I am bring 2 salads to the dinner we are invited to, I am going to make this, it will be a big hit. Thanks, Happy Holiday!
Such a beautiful, crunchy, nutty...sweet-and salty flavors going on in this amazing, creative salad!
Angie, I adore the anchovy vinaigrette, which would be a great lighter version for Caesar salad...choice of 2...since lately, I don't dress the salads even when I make my homemade dressings unless everyone requests it the same way! This will be a keeper recipe, for sure...thanks for sharing! xo
There's lots and lots of goodness in this salad! Interesting choice of anchovy in the dressing.
So fresh, so beautiful
Love the sound of the contrasting flavours and textures! The anchovy vinaigrette sounds amazing too!
Such a lovely mix of bright fresh flavors!
I'm loving the salad mixture Angie. Hopefully, the anchovies dissolve in the dressing. :)
Such a beautiful plate of salad! Kale is one veggie that is not available over here.
What a nice mix of textures, flavors, and colors. I've been thinking I need to start adding oranges to my salads. The mandarin in here sounds great!
Colorful, healthy and so delicious..
SO vibrant and gorgeous! I adore quinoa salads and this one is divine!!!
What a great combo! Radicchio is such a great leaf and especially good in this salad!
Quinoa with mandarin is DEFINITELY a winner :D
What a delicious salad - I would be super generous with that vinaigrette as well!
Cheers

Hi Angie, how are you? As usual your nice colour salad make me drool again :)
What a beautiful and festive salad Angie! Happy Thanksgiving!
I love this quinoa salad! It looks so healthy and delicious! The mandarin oranges sound so good with the kale and quinoa and I love the pop of color from the radicchio!
Wow..the mandarin oranges are such a nice touch. This is so beautiful, Angie. I'll get my fork and spoon ready in case you're sending some over .. ^.^
Another beautiful looking salad, I always struggle to come up with such good ideas for winter salads I am so glad I have you site bookmarked!!!
I love all the fresh flavors you've put into the salad! I bet that dressing is a nice counterpoint.
So many wonderful and varied textures and taste, very bold to make a anchovy vinaigrette with it but it works beautifully. Have a great weekend!
i love eating the colors of the rainbow too. this is so perfect- light but filling id presume. xo
My toes are curling reading the ingredient list of this citrusy wonder... I also like how you create anchovy paste for your vinaigrette by putting the fillets in the food processor! very good idea :)
Your salad is so uplifting, I fell in love when I saw the colors of the ingredients. Definitely something I will be looking into. Thanks for sharing!
Another delicious salad. I love quinoa.
My oldest loves anything with anchovies :) The ingredients in this dish are great, this is something I definitely want to try!
This looks like just the health dish I need to get back into the groove after stuffing myself this Thanksgiving!
I can imagine explosion of tastes in mouth after tasting this salad; all there - sweet, sour, salty, crunchy, nutty...
I am definitely eating with my eyes right now! This looks delicious and so pretty, Angie.
Angie , that salad looks hearty and nutritious ! The anchovy dressing sounds wonderful !
What amazing colour splash on the screen here, so refreshing even in this drab weather!
