Spinach and Quinoa Salad with Dill
I'm trying to find new things to do with dill, and some googling turned up these recipes:

I sauteed a chopped onion.
Cooked a cup of quinoa on top of that.
While the quinoa was still warm, I stirred in a bunch of chopped spinach.

I dressed the salad with some lemon juice and evoo.
Sliced or slivered almonds might have been a good idea, but pine nuts would have been fantastic if I had had any. The tomatoes were an afterthought: I threw them in because they needed to be used up, but they turned out to be a great addition!
