Yogurt with Toasted Quinoa, Dates, and Almonds

Serves 1 (can easily be doubled, tripled, etc.)

1/2 tablespoon red quinoa
5 shelled pistachios, chopped
5 almonds, chopped
6 oz whole milk greek yogurt
2 medjool dates, pitted and chopped
pinch of freshly grated lemon zest
flaky sea salt or other coarse salt
1 to 2 teaspoons best quality olive oil

1. Heat the oven to 350 F. Pour the quinoa into a small saute pan and place over medium heat. Toast the quinoa -- it will begin popping when it's toasted, and as soon as it is pour it into a bowl to cool. Spread the pistachios and almonds in a small baking dish and toast in the oven for 5 minutes. Remove and let cool.
2. Spread the yogurt on a small plate or shallow bowl. Sprinkle on the quinoa, pistachios, almonds, and dates. Fleck with lemon zest and sea salt, and finish with a sprinkling of olive oil. less
