Tabouli is one of my all time favorite salads. It’s an incredibly refreshing Mediterranean side dish.  Of course, it calls for wheat.  Lots and lots of wheat.  Not cool!

Traditionally, the wheat is sort of cooked in lemon juice to soften it.  In this recipe, the quinoa needs to be cooked and cooled before the salad is prepared.  Quinoa also has a similar texture to wheat bulghar, so it makes a nice alternative.  That way I can still enjoy the tomatoes, cucumbers, and lemony goodness that is Quinoa Tabouli!
