Low

Bring the quinoa to a boil in water in a pot according to the instructions on the box. (Generally, it would be 4 cups of water for 2 cups of quinoa). Once it starts boiling, lower the heat, cover, and cook until all the water has been absorbed and the quinoa is well cooked. In a skillet, cook the asparagus with 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat until tender (10-15 minutes), then remove from heat. Mix the quinoa with the asparagus in the skillet. In a small deep bowl, mix the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Add the vinaigrette and raisins and mix well. Serve.
