Cut the grapes into halves.  Place quinoa, asparagus and grapes and sliced bell peppers into a large bowl and combine everything very well but gently. Season with salt and pepper to taste and add chopped fresh thyme.  Drizzle half of the dressing on the quinoa mixture and combine well. Taste it. If you desire more dressing add a little more.
