Quinoa Tabbouleh

Vegetarian Times Issue: March 1, 2006   p.37

30 minutes or fewer

 

You may discover that you like this nutritious, wheat-free variation of this traditional Middle Eastern grain salad even better than the original. Serve it as part of a meze (a Mediterranean appetizer) platter with hummus, baba ghanoush (roasted eggplant dip) and pita bread, or mound it on a bed of lettuce with sliced tomatoes on the side.

Directions

  1. Combine quinoa and 2 cups water in medium saucepan. Cover, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 15 to 20 minutes, or until quinoa is tender and liquid is absorbed.
  2. Place cooked quinoa in large bowl, fluff with fork and let cool. Add remaining ingredients and salt to taste, and mix well. Serve tabbouleh chilled or at room temperature.
