Quiona Almond Salad

I have been reading about people making quiona for quite some time and finally took a stab at it this Quiona Almond Salad this weekend.  

The recipe calls for:
1 cup uncooked quiona
1 cup water
1 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup coarsely shredded carrot

1/4 cup sliced almonds

1/4 cup dried cherries or cranberries

2 tbs of balsamic vinaigrette (you can make your own if you like)

Directions: 1. Heat quiona, water and salt to boiling, stirring twice, reduce to low and simmer for 12 to 15 minutes. 2. Remove from heat and let stand for 5 minutes.  Fluff quiona with a fork and let cool for another 5 minutes. 3. Mix vinaigrette, quiona and remaining ingredients in a large bowl. **You can serve this either warm or cold depending on preference. I thought it was as delicious as it looked, however Steven was not too fond of it.   Quiona is so good for you, so I think this may have been too healthy for him ;)   I'll definitely make this for myself again :)  Thumbs up to this recipe, ladies! Does anyone have any good quiona recipes to share??
