Apple Almond Quinoa Salad Recipe

1 c Quinoa

2 c water

2 Tbsp Honey

½ c lemon juice

½ tsp coarse salt

3 Tbsp Olive Oil

1 c peeled, diced tart apples, such as granny smith (I didn’t peel mine)

1 c finely chopped celery (I skipped this part, I didn’t have celery)

1/3 c raisins

1/3 c finely chopped parsley

½ c coarsely shopped almonds

Coarse Salt and Pepper

Make quinoa as directed, let cool completely

In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, lemon juice, and salt.  Gradually whisk in the oil until blended.

Add the apple, celery, raisins, parsley, and almonds to the quinoa and toss the ingredients well.  Add the dressing and toss once more to coat the salad.  Season with S&P to taste.
