ingredients

1 cup quinoa
2 cups water
1 -2 medium tomatoes, cut into cubes
1 medium onions or 6 green onions, finely chopped
1 medium cucumber, peeled and cut into cubes
1 small green pepper, seeded and cut into 1/2 inch cubes (opti)
1 bunch parsley, finely chopped
1 cup of fresh mint, Finely Chopped or 1 teaspoon dried mint
¹⁄₃ cup lemon juice
¹⁄₃ cup olive oil
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon sea salt

directions

Put the quinoa in a wire strainer and thoroughly rinse with hot water to remove any bitter flavor.
In a medium saucepan, bring the water and quinoa to a boil over high heat.
Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until the quinoa is tender and the water is absorbed, 10 to 12 minutes.
Let cool completely.
Stir the tomatoes, onion, cucumber and parsley into the quinoa.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, oil, garlic and salt.
Pour over the quinoa and toss well.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.

I made this without the cucumber, peppers and garlic as I wanted it to resemble authentic Lebanese tabouleh more closely. It turned out perfectly. Thanks for posting!

This was my first time using quinoa and I am very pleasantly surprised. This salad was delicious, it was gobbled up very quickly by everyone, even the people who said they didn't like quinoa. Thank you.

This recipe is a keeper. Everyone loves it at the few potlucks that I have taken this salad too. Very light and refreshing. The blend of flavors is just right. Thanks for posting!
