Quinoa Nectarine Salad

1 c quinoa
2 c water
2 nectarines, diced
1/3 c raisins
1/2 c chopped pecans
1/4 c fresh lemon juice
2 T honey
2 T grapeseed oil
1 T olive oil
pinch of salt

Combine quinoa and water in medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered about 15 minutes - until water is absorbed. Let the quinoa cool.
Add the nectarines, raisins, and pecans to the quinoa and toss. In a separate bowl, combine lemon juice, honey, oil and salt and whisk until blended. Pour over the salad and toss.

notes for next time: less oil for the dressing, maybe 1 t of vinegar, and a little less lemon juice.
