GRAINS AND BAKES
QUINOA TABBOULEH
This updated take on a classic Middle Eastern dish tastes even more
refreshing when made with protein-rich quinoa and fresh herbs. Enjoy
as a snack, side dish, or as a full meal by mixing in cubes of baked
chicken breast (pg. 45) or cured tofu (pg. 47).
DIRECTIONS:
Cook quinoa (pg. 43). Let cool. Mix
lemon juice and garlic in a small
bowl. Whisk in the olive oil. Season
with salt and pepper to taste.
Transfer cooked and cooled
quinoa to a large mixing bowl
and stir in ¼ cup dressing. This
can be done up to a day ahead
of time and stored in an airtight
container in the fridge, as flavors
will intensify overnight. Cover and
store any leover dressing and
quinoa separately for later use.
Add cucumbers, tomatoes, herbs,
and scallions to a large bowl with
quinoa and toss to coat. Season
with salt and pepper to taste,
and drizzle with the remaining
dressing, if more is desired.
