Instructions
- Cook up a small pot of quinoa in water per package directions or feel free to use this photo tutorial to get you started! This should take about 13 minutes.
- Once your quinoa is fluffy and ready, season with oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper to taste and allow quinoa to cool to room temperature.
- Add parsley, green onion, cucumber.
- Whisk together oil, vinegar, and lime juice, add to the mixture and toss to coat, evenly distributing the ingredients.
- Feel free to adjust seasoning and ingredients to taste, adding more of your favorites or any of the optional extras from the ingredients above.
- Cover and let stand for 15 minutes to let flavors mingle. May be enjoyed room temperature or chilled. Enjoy!
Notes
- Recipe yields about 2.5-3 cups of tabbouleh.
- Chopped fresh mint leaves would be awesome in this! I didn't have any handy but I'm planning on growing a little pot of mint on my porch so I never run out again! YUM!
- Also, feel free to change up the onion, add some yummy minced garlic to the mix, and even toss in some fresh ripe tomatoes for a burst of color and flavor.
