Then add the honey. I used less honey than the recipe called for and it was sweet enough for me, so add it in batches and taste to see what suits your fancy.

Next add your quinoa. Toss it in and stir. I like to make quinoa in large batches and toss it into salads throughout the week. It’s a great source of protein. So feel free to make extra and save the rest.
