Fig, Pistachio, & Orange Quinoa Pilaf

Ingredients -- Vegan

Oranges aren't Keto, of course, but this is a nice light side dish with an excellent combination of flavors. This recipe makes a great salad, snack, or even a breakfast.

1 pot cooked & cooled Quinoa (use 2 cups dry Quinoa, 3.5 cups water, salt, some butter)
1 cup Figs (dry, any kind)
2 Oranges (large, navel)
1/2 cup Pistachio nuts (shelled, of course)
3 Tbsp Parsley (flat leaf, chopped)
3 Tbsp Lemon Juice
2 Tbsp Olive Oil
1/4 tsp. salt or season salt, dash of pepper, other seasonings to taste?

Cook quinoa and let cool in the pan for about half an hour. Toss and fluff a couple of times as it cools.
Peel both oranges with a knife. Remove the skin and white pith. Slice each orange wedge into bite-size pieces.
Remove stem from top of fig. Cut fig into thin slices.
Place figs and oranges into a bowl. Let them marinate together for a while. Dried figs will absorb some orange juice.
Rinse parsley, shake dry, and chop it fine.
Add all ingredients from this recipe into a large bowl. Mix and toss well. Serve at room temp, or cover, place into fridge and serve cold.
