Quinoa Tabbouleh

Today we made quinoa tabbouleh.  Tabbouleh is a Mediterranean salad traditionally made with bulgur and mint.  This recipe uses the new super food, quinoa, to replace the bulgur and parsley to replace the mint. 
Quinoa, although it is a seed, is used as a grain.  It is packed with nutrition and is the only grain that is a complete protein – a great food for vegetarians.
 The students did a great job making a super healthy lunch.
