Hi Bud:
This sounds very good. I have added it to my Try Soon folder. A nice combination of flavors and textures. I have plenty of Quinoa on hand and good fresh fruit will be showing up at the farmers markets soon. Well done. Thanks for sharing!
Love,
Dad

Ingredientes
- 1 Cup quinoa
- 2 cups water
- 3 nectarines, pitted & diced
- 1/4 cup roughly chopped pistachios
- 4 oz. goat cheese, crumbled
- 2 Tbsp spicy brown mustard (I used Guldens)
- 1 Tbsp fresh chopped dill
- 1 garlic clove smashed
- 1 small shallot minced
- 1 lemon, zest & juice
- 2 Tbsp Blasamic vinegar
- 1 Tbsp honey
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
Direcciones
- In a fine mesh strainer, rinse the quinoa under cold water until water runs clear
- Place quinoa & water in a large sauce pan. Bring to a boil. Once at a boil reduce heat to meduim/medium low, cover & cook 10-15 minutes or until all liquid is absorbed. When done, the grain appears translucent and the germ ring will be visible. Allow quinoa to cool.
- Mix mustard, dill, garlic, shallot, lemon zest & juice, vinegar & honey. Add salt & pepper to taste. Slowly whisk in oil to creat dressing.
- When quinioa is cooled, add chopped nectarine, pistachios & dressing. Toss to coat. If serving immediately top with crumbled goat cheese. If chilling, top with goat cheese when ready to serve.
