Apple Quinoa Salad With Curry Dressing

• 1/4 cup raw whole almond
• 1 cup organic bulk quinoa
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped organic shallot
• 1 teaspoon curry powder
• 1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• fresh ground pepper
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons dried currants or 2 tablespoons dried cherries
• 1 organic apple, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices

1. Toast almonds until fragrant in a 375u0b0 F oven for about seven minutes.
2. Rinse quinoa thoroughly in a fine sieve and drain. Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepan.
3. Add quinoa, return to boil, stir, cover and reduce heat. Simmer until quinoa is tender but still chewy, about 15 minutes. Fluff quinoa with a fork and let cool.
4. For the dressing, whisk together honey, shallot, curry powder, salt and lemon juice in a large bowl.
5. Season with pepper. Whisking constantly, add olive oil in a slow, steady stream and whisk until emulsified. Add quinoa, currants, apple and nuts and toss well.
