Ingredients:

Serving

2 cups quinoa
1 cup (packed) golden raisins
1/2 cup chopped toasted almonds
1/2 cup (packed) fresh chives, finely chopped
4 large fresh mint leaves, minced, or more , to taste
2 tbsp. cider vinegar
2 tbsp. light olive oil
1 tbsp. lemon juice
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 tart green granny smith apple, cored and chopped into small pieces

Directions:

Quinoi, rinsed and drained then placed in a lidded saucepan with 3-3/4 cups water.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover and cook for about 15 minutes, or until the quinoa has absorbed all the water and has blossomed to show its white “tails.”
Rinse in cold water and let drain.
While the quinoa cooks, combine the raisins, almonds, chives and mint in a bowl or large storage container.
Add the drained and cooled quinoa then drizzle with the vinegar, oil and lemon juice.
Season to taste with the salt and additional vinegar or lemon juice, if desired.
Before serving, fold in the apples.
Serve at room temperature or chilled.
