Instructions

Combine onions, orange rind, lemon rind, orange juice, lemon juice, cilantro, salt, coriander, cumin, paprika, and olive oil in a mixing bowl. Whisk all ingredients together. Set bowl aside.
Rinse quinoa thoroughly and drain.
Combine the water, quinoa, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil.
Cover the saucepan, reduce the heat, and simmer the quinoa for about 10 minutes, until all the water is absorbed.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and fluff the quinoa with a fork.
Combine the quinoa, blood orange sections, avocado, and kumquats in a large bowl.
Add the dressing and toss the salad gently to coat.
Put 1 cup of salad onto a plate and top with about 1/2 cup of beets.

Notes

Use blood orange in this recipe if you can; otherwise, choose a sweet citrus to go with the kumquats.
