Quinoa Asparagus "Cheese" Salad

Here's another simple recipe for you! 

Ingredients 
  • 1 cup Quinoa (make sure you rinse)
  • 3 cups water
  • A handful of asparagus (chopped)
  • 1/4 cup of chopped walnuts
  • Cinnamon-Pear Balsamic Vinaigrette (This can be to taste depending on how sweet you want the salad to taste - I used about 4 tbsps)
  • I found this recipe for Vegan Goat Cheese and that's what I used for the cheese
Directions
  • Make the cheese the night before
  • Bring the Quinoa to a boil in the water - reduce heat and cook until water is absorbed
  • Saute the asparagus and walnuts in 1 to 2 tbsp of the Vinaigrette
  • Cool both the Quinoa and the asparagus - Once cooled mix together and the other 2 tbsp of Vinaigrette
  • Top with the cheese
