Ingredients

1 1/3 c. black quinoa
1 kaffir lime leaf
2 large pink grapefruit
2 small avacados
1 fennel bulb
12 pink radishes
4 oz. feta chese
chopped parsley

Instructions

Rinse the quinoa and cook it with a kaffir lime leaf, covered, in 2 2/3 cups salted water. When the water is absorbed, stop the heat and let rest for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and transfer to a bowl, discarding the kaffir lime leaf, to leave to cool.
In the meantime, in a large bowl, combine the slices of grapefruit, avocado, fennel, and radish and toss gently.
Make the dressing by adding ingredients in this order: salt, pepper, lime juice, ginger, olive oil. Emulsify with a small whisk and finish with the heavy cream; keep aside.
