Lettuce Salad with Red Quinoa, Almonds, and Apple

I think this picture says it all.  This is a great salad to impress anyone and tastes delicious.  Super easy to make and very healthy.  An added benefit is the quinoa!

Here goes.

Take 1/4 cup or so of red quinoa and add to boiling water for about 10 minutes.  When done rinse and spread on a baking sheet to cool.  I put paper towels in the bottom of my strainer and poured the quinoa into that and squeezed out excess water before transferring to a pan to cool

The dressing:

• 1/4 cu of olive oil
• 3-4 tsp of apple cider vinegar
• 2 tsp of honey
• Add some salt and pepper to taste.  
• Whisk away!

The Salad:

• Pick your favorite package of mixed lettuce.  For this I used the herb blend at the store but I'm sure any of your favorite lettuce will do.
• Core and slice a Granny Smith apple fairly thin.
• Add some Sliced Almonds  Approximately 1/4 Cup.
• Add the Red Quinoa.

In a large bowl add the above ingredients and coat the salad with the dressing.

Voila!  You are ready to go.  Enjoy!
