Start by removing the first few leaves from the cabbage, then cut the rest into small pieces.

In a saucepan of water, cook the rinsed quinoa according to package instructions, or monitor cooking so that the quinoa remains crunchy (approx. 12 minutes). The quinoa is cooked when the germ has come out.

While the quinoa is cooking, make the orange supremes.
To do this, wash and peel the whole oranges, taking care to remove the white skin. Then cut each segment one by one.

Drizzle with vinaigrette and toss well.
