Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups quinoa
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 1/2 cups water
1/2 cup scallion, thinly sliced
3/4 cup celery, chopped
1/2 cup raisins
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1/3 cup cilantro
3/4 cup pecans
Directions:
1. Bring the quinoa, salt, and water to a boil in a saucepan.
2. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the quinoa is tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
3. Once done, scrape into a large bowl, and allow to cool for 20 minutes. Stir in the green onions, celery, raisins, cayenne pepper, vegetable oil, vinegar, lemon juice, and sesame oil. Allow to stand at room temperature for 1 hour to allow the flavors to blend. Stir in the cilantro and pecans before serving.
