Quinoa Tabbouleh Salad

We love tabbouleh salad, but I haven't made it since going gluten-free because it is made with bulgur wheat (which I love so much).  I've seen all sorts of versions of tabbouleh made with quinoa instead.  And we all know that someone (ME) loves quinoa.  I threw this together for a quick late lunch on Saturday afternoon after I got home from the farm and running a few errands.



I ate it with a piece of GF toast slathered with vegan coconut butter, topped with thinly sliced radishes and a mix of amaranth and broccoli micro-greens.  Hello, healthy lunch.
