quinoa tabbouleh

I've already told you what quinoa is.

And I already told you how much I love quinoa.

Problem is, I like this recipe so much that I rarely want to try a new one.

But, I had to.

I have to try new things.

And although, personally, I don't think that this recipe is as good as that one, maybe you will think differently.

Quinoa Tabbouleh

Serves 4.

2 cups water

1 cup quinoa, rinsed three times

Kosher salt

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

1/4 cup lemon juice

3 tomatoes, diced

1 cucumber, de-seeded and diced

2 bunches scallions, diced

1 cup fresh parsley, chopped

In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add quinoa and a pinch of the kosher salt. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Allow to cool to room temperature and fluff with a fork.

Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine olive oil, sea salt, lemon juice, tomatoes, cucumber, scallions, and parsley. Stir in cooled quinoa.  Toss to combine and serve!!
