It is that time of year again. It is hot hot hot and the garden is beautiful. I keep tabbouleh in the fridge all the time as a quick and cool meal. Using quinoa instead of couscous really ups the protein in this dish and I think it tastes better.
ingredients:
1 C. water
2 C. quinoa
3 small tomatoes, chopped
1 small cucumber, seeded and chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 stalks green onion, chopped
1/2 C. cilantro, chopped
1/3 C. olive oil
juice from one large lemon
salt and pepper to taste.
In a sauce pan stir together the quinoa and water. bring to a boil, cover and reduce heat to medium low. Simmer for 15 minutes or until cooked. Fluff with a fork and set aside to cool. In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients and mix well. Place in the refrigerator to cool. Serve this chilled.
This is so easy and fresh tasting! I love using it as a filling for the lettuce wraps.
