Grain Salad With Blueberries

Ingredients:

Quinoa or farro

Fresh Blueberries

Diced cucumbers

Fresh mint

Minced red onion

Lemon vinaigrette

Slivered almonds

*

* Note  Always rinse quinoa first before cooking with cold water.  It has a coating which should be removed before cooking which also affects the flavor.  I also found a perfectly cooked quinoa can be made in the microwave.  1 cup of water to 3/4 cup quinoa in a covered container for 9 minutes.  Perfctly cooked!
