Quinoa Tabbouleh Salad

Ingredients

• 1 cup quinoa
• 3 cups finely chopped parsley
• 1 cup chopped mint
• 2 tomatoes, finely diced
• 4 scallions, sliced
• 1/3 cup olive oil
• Juice of 2 lemons
• Salt and black pepper

Instructions

1. Cook and cool the quinoa

   Simmer the quinoa in 2 cups salted water for 15 minutes, then spread it out to cool completely.

2. Chop the herbs

   Finely chop the parsley and mint — the finer the better for authentic tabbouleh texture.

3. Make the dressing

   Whisk the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.

4. Combine

   Toss the cooled quinoa, herbs, tomatoes, and scallions with the dressing. Rest 10 minutes and serve.
