Ingredients
DRESSING:
- 1 tbs apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbs mirin
- 2 tbs miso
- 2 tbs sesame oil
- 2 tbs plus 1 tsp honey or agave syrup
- 1 clove small garlic
- 1 tbs diced shallot
- Salad:

- 6 sticks of celery sliced

Instructions
- Begin by making the dressing. Add all of the ingredients to a food processor and process until smooth.
- Place the quinoa in a fine mesh sieve and rinse well under running water. Place in a saucepan along with the water and bring to a boil. Cover and reduce the heat to its lowest setting and cook for 12 minutes. Turn the heat off and leave covered for 10 minutes before fluffing with a fork. Place in a bowl and refrigerate until chilled.
- Toss the walnuts in frying pan and place over a low heat. Shake the pan every now and again toast for 5 minutes or until they smell toasty. Leave to cool.
- Add the remaining salad ingredients, with the exception of the nuts, to the chilled quinoa and toss to combine. Place in a serving bowl. Scatter the walnuts on top and drizzle with the dressing and toss just before serving.
