A Healthy Quinoa Tabouli
"This easy quinoa tabouli meal is best paired with white wines, whether for lunch or dinner. Quinoa is increasingly easy to find these days. It’s indigenous to the Americas and has a nutty flavor. Unlike Orzo, Couscous or bulgur wheat, Quinoa is gluten-free. A nice piece of salmon dish or a seared chicken breast are perfect matches for this healthy quinoa recipe. This recipe is versatile enough that you can add more flavors to it. You may add some pinch of paprika for a good smoky flavor and even a teaspoon of cayenne pepper to add a mild heat. If you want to add more flavor, you may use beef stock or chicken stock instead of the vegetable stock."
