Quinoa and strawberry salad

I used a mix of white and red quinoa.

For the dressing

3 Tbsp	Lemon juice
1 Tbsp	Honey, mild
1 tsp	Dijon mustard
2 tsp	Chopped thyme
2 Tbsp	Extra virgin olive oil
1 pinch	Salt and pepper

For the salad

1 cup	Quinoa
2 cups	Water
½ cup	Sliced almonds
½ medium	Red onions, thinly sliced
250 g	Strawberries, hulled and halved (Main)
4 cups	Baby rocket, or thinly sliced young kale (Main)
100 g	Feta cheese, crumbled

Directions

1. Whisk the lemon juice, honey, mustard and thyme until smooth. Gradually whisk in the olive oil. Season.
2. Rinse the quinoa in a sieve. Place in a saucepan. Bring to the boil then simmer for about 15 minutes until the quinoa is cooked and the water absorbed. Place in a large bowl and stir in the dressing. Cool.
3. Place the almonds on a microwave-proof plate. Microwave on high power for 1-2 minutes, until the almonds are toasted.
4. When the quinoa is cool, add the almonds and remaining ingredients.
