Quinoa Apple Dill Salad

Quinoa Dill Apple Salad/Side Dish
This is a great grain/starch side dish when it is served warm, or a yummy salad when cold. You could do this in the fall when everything is in season, except for the dill, and it would be excellent; however all of the ingredients are fairly non-seasonal since they are easy to come by in most markets. Best of all, this is super freakin easy to make.

Ingredients

-1 cup Quinoa uncooked
-1 tsp broth base
-1.5 cups water


-1 bunch fresh dill
-1 red apple, chopped into small peices
-1 cup walnuts, toasted and chopped
-1 tsp(ish) balsamic vinegar, to flavor
-dash of salt
-dash of pepper

Preparation


Boil 1.5 cups water, bring to rolling boil and stir in broth base and quinoa. Let cook for 15-20 minutes until all moisture is absorbed. Remove from heat.

Toss remaining ingredients with quinoa and serve either hot or chilled.

Pics to be added later (I know I'm breaking my own rules)
