Recipes with Quinoa -Tabbouleh

Quinoa is a common staple in the Andean region. It is considered a super food and is getting more and more common in the USA. I buy mine from Trader Joe’s – who happen to import it from Bolivia, where I grew up. We ate quinoa all the time as kids and I encourage you to try it out! Here is a nice and healthy recipe that I hope you will like! Here is what you are going to need for this:

1 cup quinoa
2 cups water
Salt

• Wash the quinoa very well. Place in a pot. Add the water and salt.
• Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and steam for 15 minutes.
• Quinoa will be cooked when it is translucent and has a visible germ ring.
• Fluff with a fork. Set aside and cool completely.

6 chopped scallions – whites, light green and dark green
2 large tomatoes – chopped
1 cup chopped parsley
¼ cup chopped mint
½ a cucumber – peeled, seeded and chopped
Olive oil
