Directions Veggie, Almond, and Raisin Quinoa Salad
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread almonds onto a baking sheet.
Bake almonds in the preheated oven until lightly toasted and fragrant, 5 to 10 minutes.
Bring vegetable stock and quinoa to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender and stock has been absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer quinoa to a bowl and refrigerate until chilled, about 30 minutes.
Mix almonds, cucumber, tomatoes, parsley, orange bell pepper, feta cheese, raisins, olives, and scallions into quinoa.
Whisk lemon juice and olive oil together in a bowl, pour over quinoa mixture and stir until quinoa mixture is coated.
