Quinoa Tabbouleh

This is posted in my Cooking for Dad blog, but I got tired of having to hunt it down any time I wanted to make it.

• 2 cups water
• 1 cup quinoa
• 1 pinch salt

Rinse quinoa well before cooking. Cook according to package directions; let cool.

• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• 3 tomatoes, diced
• 1 cucumber, seeded and diced
• 1 cup green onions, greens and bulbs, diced
• 1 cup fresh parsley, chopped


• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup fresh mint, chopped
• Add salt and pepper to taste.

Mix the above and stir into cooled, cooked quinoa. Mix well. Best if it sits for at least an hour before serving.
