Instructions
- Rinse the quinoa in a sieve, then transfer to a medium pot over medium heat. Stir continuously with a wooden spoon until the quinoa is dry and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes, then add 1 ¾ cups of water. Bring to a boil, cover and reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Mix in asparagus, cover again and cook until the asparagus is just tender and the water is absorbed, about 8-10 minutes. Transfer the quinoa and asparagus to a baking sheet and distribute in an even layer to cool.
- Place all of the vegetables, herbs and seeds in a large bowl. Once the quinoa is cool, transfer it to the bowl and gently toss all of the ingredients with the oil, vinegar and honey to combine, adding salt and pepper to taste.
