Quinoa salad
This was the first time I made quinoa salad. My family liked it.

Ingridients:
- 1 1/2 cups quinoa (I bought some more quinoa)            - 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1/4 tsp salt                                                                   - 1 tbsp distilled white vinegar
- 3 1/2 cups water                                                          - 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 bunch green onions, chopped                                    - 2 tbsp sesame oil
- 3/4 cup chopped celery                                                - 1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/2 cup raisins                                                              - 3/4 cup chopped pecans
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper

Directions: 
1. Bring the quinoa, salt, and water to a boil in a saucepan.

2. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the quinoa is tender, 20 to 25 minutes.

3. Once done, scrape into a large bowl, and allow to cool for 20 minutes.

4. Stir in the green onions, celery, raisins, cayenne pepper, vegetable oil, vinegar, lemon juice, and sesame         oil. 

5. Allow to stand at room temperature for 1 hour to allow the flavors to blend. Stir in the cilantro and pecans     before serving.
