1 1/2 teaspoons finely grated orange zest
1 cup quinoa
1 cup Camargue red rice, see Note
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1/3 cup fresh orange juice

Bring 2 medium saucepans of salted water to a boil. Add the quinoa to 1 saucepan and the red rice to the other. Cover and simmer over moderate heat until tender, about 12 minutes for the quinoa and 35 minutes for the rice. Drain the grains and spread them out on baking sheets to cool.

In a large bowl, combine the orange juice, orange zest, lemon juice, garlic and the remaining 3 tablespoons of olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Add the quinoa, rice, onion, apricots, pistachios and scallions and toss well. Serve with the arugula.
