Warm Quinoa Salad with Toasted Almonds

Delicious!  That is the word for this, it is so good.  We have had it a couple of times with orange chicken or just grilled chicken.  It is also so quick to make.  The only downside is that leftovers aren't as good as fresh because the almonds get a little soggy.

Recipe:

1 1/2 cups Quinoa

2 1/2 cups water

1/2 tsp salt

2 Tbls. soy sauce

1 Tbls. rice vinegar

1 tsp. asian sesame oil

1 tsp. grated fresh ginger

2 green onions thinly sliced diagonally ( I used the whole bunch)

1/3 cup sliced almonds toasted

Soak quinoa in water for at least 15 min. then rinse.  Add water and salt to quinoa in sauce pan.  Bring to a boil then cover and reduce heat to a simmer and let simmer for 20 min.  Meanwhile in small dish combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil and ginger.  Once quinoa is cooked and still warm add soy sauce mixture and green onions and almonds and toss until evenly coated.  Enjoy, I know I did.
