Method:
To cook perfect Quinoa
Rinse the quinoa under running water thoroughly, drain well, combine drained quinoa with 2 cups of water in a saucepan and bring to boil over medium to high heat, then lower the heat and simmer till quinoa has absorbed all the water. This process could take anywhere from 10 to 20 minutes. Once quinoa has absorbed all the water, take the pan off heat and cover the pan and let it steam, this step will give quinoa time to turn fluffy and pop. Now remove the cover and fluff the quinoa with a fork, season with salt while fluffing.
In a large bowl assemble cooked quinoa , spinach, toss sesame seeds, toasted walnuts and raisins sprinkle some seasoning and now drizzle olive oil , sesame oil and lemon juice one by one , toss gently, season with reaming salt and paprika.
