Warm Quinoa Salad with Toasted Almonds

From Cooking Light

Rinse 1 cup quinoa in cold water, then toast in a skillet over medium heat until fragrant and golden, about five minutes, stirring frequently.

Add 2 cups water and bring to a boil on high.  Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until all water is absorbed, about 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together:
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
2 green onions, thinly sliced diagonally

Toss the quinoa in the mixture, top with toasted almonds to serve.

This is a great side dish and complimented our grilled tilapia well. 


Note: the quinoa salad is Daniel fast approved (the fish is not).
