Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 1 cup dry quinoa
  • 2 cups water or no salt added broth
  • 1/2 cup sliced almonds (toasted)
  • 2 cups washed and dried baby spinach
  • 4 scallions (finely chopped)
  • 3 cups red seedless grapes (halved)
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tbsp. apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp. Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp. honey
  • 2 tbsp. orange concentrate
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • Freshly ground pepper

Instruction

  • Cook quinoa according to package directions. You can use broth instead of water for more flavour. Allow to cool.
  • To toast the sliced almonds, place a frying pan over medium heat. Add the sliced almonds. Toast for about 5 minutes or until fragrant (you'll smell them!) and lightly browned, ensuring that you toss them frequently to prevent burning.
  • Transfer the quinoa to a large bowl and toss with almonds, spinach, scallions, grapes and desired amount of dressing. Mix until well combined. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Serve at room temperature or chilled.
