• 1⁄4 cup  raw  whole almond

Directions

1. Toast almonds until fragrant in a 375º 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.
