Will LOVES tabbouleh. He discovered it this summer at a friend's cottage. For a while, I was buying those packages of ready made tabbouleh from Costco. Then I discovered this recipe, which I prefer over the versions made with bulgur. Will thinks it is just great!
Minty Quinoa Tabbouleh
1 1/2 c quinoa
1 1/2 c diced tomatoes (I sometimes use halved grape or quartered cherry tomatoes)
1 c chopped parsley
1 c diced cucumber
1/2 c sliced scallions or finely chopped red onion
1/4 c EVOO
1/4 c fresh squeezed lemon juice
1/4 tsp ground cumin
1/8 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 c chopped fresh mint OR 4 tsp dried mint
1 tsp salt
Cook quinoa according to package directions or your favourite method. Let cool. Transfer to a large bowl and toss well with all other ingredients. Cover and refrigerate. Adjust oil, lemon juice and salt before serving.
