Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Place the almonds on an ungreased cookie sheet. Roast for about 7 minutes or until the nuts are fragrant. Set aside to cool and then chop fine.
Rinse the quinoa in a fine sieve and drain. Bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the quinoa, return to a boil, stir, cover and reduce the heat. Simmer for about 15 minutes or until the quinoa is tender but still chewy. Remove lid and fluff with a fork. Let cool.
In a large bowl combine the honey, shallot, curry powder, salt, lemon juice and oil. Whisk well.
Add the quinoa, currants, apple and almonds. Toss well.
