Quinoa Tabouli

Quinoa Tabouli with Veggie Flaxseed Tortilla Chips!

 Tabouli is a refreshing dish that leaves your mouth feeling fresh after you eat it. Maybe because it is loaded with mint and parsley, two herbs that actually do freshen breath! Along with the lemon and fresh ingredients makes this dish a great dish to grab when you are hungry. Make it ahead and store it in the fridge for daily snacking, if it lasts that long!

Recipe

Tricolor quinoa (I had left over quinoa from the night before. Cook quinoa as directed. I like to use 50/50 chicken or veggie stock and water.)
Tomatoes (I used heirloom tomatoes because that is what I had in the fridge.)
Cucumber
Red onion
green onions
2 Lemon (For zest and juice)
1 Splash of vinegar
3 cloves of garlic
Olive oil
Bunch of fresh parsley
Fresh or dry mint
Salt/pepper

Directions

Cook quinoa as directed. Chop veggies and add to the quinoa. Chop parsley, and mint. You can also use dry mint. Add the zest and juice of two small lemons. Add a splash of vinegar. I used white wine vinegar. Add enough olive oil to toss. I don't like to add too much oil because it can make it heavy. Add salt and pepper to taste.
