Healthy tabouli made with quinoa that is loaded with flavor. Delicious as a side dish or light meal!

INGREDIENTS
SCALE 1x 2x 3x

1 cup black or red quinoa, rinsed

2 cups water
1 pint cherry tomatoes, sliced into thin rounds

1 red pepper, chopped

1 cucumber, seeded and finely diced

1 bunch curly parsley, chopped

10 mint leaves, finely chopped

one small red onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

juice of two lemons

1/4 cup olive oil (more to taste)

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

salt and pepper to taste

splash of white wine vinegar or red wine vinegar (optional, add if you think it needs a little extra
kick)

INSTRUCTIONS

1. To make the quinoa, first rinse one cup of quinoa in a mesh colander under running water. That
washes away the bitter saponins on the surface.

2. Dump the rinsed quinoa into a medium sized pan on the stove. Add two cups of water and bring the
mixture to a boil.

3. Cover and simmer for fifteen to twenty minutes, until the water is absorbed. Once it’s done, remove
from heat and fluff the quinoa with a fork.

4. Let the quinoa cool, then toss in the rest of your ingredients.

5. Add more olive oil, salt or pepper, and/or vinegar to taste.

6. If you have time, cover and let the salad chill in the refrigerator for a few hours or overnight, to let
the flavors blend together.
