- Rinse and drain the quinoa, then add the water and quinoa to a medium pot. Bring to a boil over a high heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot and allow the quinoa to simmer for 15 minutes, until the quinoa is tender and the water has been absorbed. Uncover and fluff the quinoa, then transfer to a large bowl and let cool to room temperature. The quinoa can also be made it ahead the night before, or you can spread the quinoa in a layer on a baking pan and place it in the fridge to cool quick.Make the dressing by adding all of the ingredients to a bowl and whisking well to combine. Adjust the seasonings as necessary, salt and pepper, to taste.Add the cooled quinoa, carrots, fennel (if using), chopped cilantro or mint, almond slices (re-serving some for topping) and golden raisins.
