Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add quinoa, stir and boil gently until tender, about 12 minutes. Drain in a fine mesh strainer, cover with a clean dish towel and let sit 5 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl, stir in raisins and set aside. Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine maple syrup, vinegar, 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and mustard. Blend mixture thoroughly and set aside. Place pumpkin seeds in a dry nonstick skillet over medium heat and toast until seeds are golden, about 5 minutes. Remove seeds from skillet and set aside.
