I realize my recipe postings are alternating between soups and salads. It’s probably because our weather is alternating between winter and spring! Yesterday was a lovely day, so I made this quinoa tabouli- which the kids all loved- and enjoyed eating it sitting out on the steps in the sun. Quinoa is a lovely light grain which cooks quickly. You can make this recipe with leftover quinoa that you already have on hand or make up a fresh batch and refrigerate it before combining with the rest of the fresh ingredients.
