Tabbouli is a chopped herb and grain salad that is traditionally made with bulgur. I recently had a version that substituted quinoa for the bulgur, making the dish healthier and, in my opinion, better. Here is my interpretation of the Quinoa Tabbouli from Cypus Bistro & Cafe in Campbell, CA. It is heavy on the herbs and light on the grains, making it a very light and refreshing salad. Fresh herbs are a must.

Ingredientes

Cost per serving $3.18 view details
  • 1/2 cup quinoa, rinsed and drained
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 cups minced fresh parsley leaves, from one large bunch
  • 1 cup minced fresh mint leaves
  • 2 ripe tomatoes, cored, seeded and finely chopped
  • 1 small onion, minced
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • zest of one lemon
  • salt and pepper to taste

Direcciones

  1. Bring a scant cup of water to boil in a medium saucepan. Add 1/4 tsp salt and the rinsed quinoa. Cover pan, reduce heat to low and cook for 20 minutes, or until water is absorbed and quinoa is soft. Remove from heat. Place a paper towel or clean dish towel over the top of the saucepan and replace the lid. Let sit for 10 minutes, then spread the quinoa on a clean baking sheet to cool. You can prepare the quinoa in advance and refrigerate until ready to make the tabbouli.
  2. To prepare the salad: In a large bowl combine the quinoa, parsley, mint, tomatoes, onion and lemon zest. Toss gently to blend. In a small bowl whisk together the olive oil and lemon juice and toss with the salad. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
