Quinoa with Raspberries - salad or meal - enjoy it your way.

Just picked up fresh and juicy raspberries from the Farmer’s Market; they were too tempting to leave behind so bought a whole basket. Next challenge was to use them before they start to mold. With some help from fresh basil and coriander leaves from my herb garden, roasted walnuts, and a dash of fresh lemon juice and walnut oil, created a visually delighting and tasty summer meal to enjoy on the patio!






Take half a cup of whole quinoa and boil it with a cup of water. Simmer until all water is absorbed.  Finely chop quarter cup of basil leaves and a tablespoon of coriander leaves. Toast half a cup of walnuts. Fold the basil and corainder leaves into the cooked quinoa. Add toasted almonds.  Sprinkle salt and pepper.  Drizzle a tablespoon of Walnut Oil and fresh juice of a medium-sized lemon. Toss it together and serve it warm. Savor the looks and smells. Enjoy as a salad or a whole meal!
