02 Jun Best Quinoa Tabbouleh Recipe
We love the Middle Eastern salad composed of bulgur wheat, lemon juice and lots of parsley. This is a riff on that dish, swapping quinoa for the wheat and adding a small amount of curry.
The curry powder adds as an undercurrent of warmth and spice, but the dish does not taste “curried.” Cucumbers add crunch, and chickpeas elevate the protein level.
Ingredients:
Preparation:
Rinse quinoa well under running water. Add quinoa to a pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cover. Cook about 15 minutes until tender. Drain and set aside.
Add lemon juice to a large bowl. Whisk in oil, honey, curry powder and salt. Stir in shallot. Add warm quinoa to vinaigrette and toss.
Stir in cucumber, minced parsley and chickpeas. Add a pinch of salt, or to taste.
Makes: 6 servings
