Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F). Spread the almonds on a baking sheet, roast for about 7 minutes, let cool, and coarsely chop. Bring 2 cups of water to a boil, add the quinoa, bring to a boil, stir, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes. Fluff with a fork and let cool. Mix the honey, curry powder, salt, pepper, lemon juice, and oil well together, season to taste. Add the quinoa, finely chopped shallot, raisins, finely chopped apple, and almonds to the dressing and mix. It’s best to let it sit for a while. The original recipe calls for only half the dressing, which I found too dry. It also calls for 1/4 cup of mint for 4 servings, which I omit.
