Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups water

  • 1 cup quinoa

  • 1/4 English cucumber

  • 2 tomatoes

  • 1 green bell pepper

  • 5 green onions

  • 1 large bunch parsley

  • 1/2 cup olive oil

  • 1/4 cup lemon juice

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1/4 tsp chili powder

Instructions

  • Pour water into a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Rinse quinoa with cold water several times. Drain and stir into boiling water with a pinch of salt. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 10 to 15 minutes, until all water is absorbed and quinoa grains are transparent.

  • Meanwhile, dice cucumber, tomatoes and green pepper. Thinly slice green onions and finely chop parsley. In a bowl, whisk oil with lemon juice, salt and chili powder.

  • Pour hot quinoa into oil mixture and toss well. Cool tabbouleh to room temperature. Toss with chopped vegetables and parsley. Refrigerate tabbouleh for 1 hour before serving.
