The quinoa is prepared with vegetable stock for deeper savory flavor that balances with the lemon-garlic vinaigrette and vibrant herbs typical of taboule. Chop the herbs by hand or in the food processor.
Prep & Cook Instructions
- Combine stock and quinoa in a medium saucepan. Bring to a full boil; cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer 12 to 15 minutes until most of liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let stand, uncovered, 10 minutes; fluff with a fork.
- While quinoa cooks, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt and pepper in a large salad bowl; stir in beans. Add fluffed, cooked quinoa and set aside to cool to room temperature.
- Once cool, toss in cucumber, tomatoes, herbs and green onion. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Tip:
- Store in a covered container in the refrigerator up to 3 days. Let stand at room temperature at least 15 minutes for olive oil to warm and liquify. Fluff before serving.
