Quinoa Tabouleh

Quinoa, or "Inca Gold" is rich in phytonutrients and, although we consider it a grain, is actually related to leafy greens such as swiss chard.  It also contains all nine essential amino acids, meaning it gives you a complete protein.  Besides all that, it is delicious and funny looking.  Really, who wouldn't want to serve their kids something that looks like a UFO?

Quinoa Tabouleh (I usually double this)

1 cup quinoa, rinsed to get off the bitter saponin
Boil in 2 cups water and some salt, simmer, covered for 20 minutes.  Cool.

Add:
2 diced red bell peppers
1 diced cucumber
2 large bunches parsley, diced
2 bunch cilantro, diced
1 bunch mint, diced (opt.)

Fresh squeezed juice of 2 lemons
Olive oil to taste
S&P to taste
