Quinoa Tabouleh

This is the recipe that Allison took to Frank and Nancy's for Easter. It's yummy!

Ingredients
  • 1 cup red quinoa (dried)
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries, chopped
  • 1/4 cup raw almonds, chopped
  • 1/2 cup raw carrots, diced
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint, chopped
  • 1/4 cup green onions, sliced thinly
  • 1/4 cup flat leaf parsley, chopped
  • 1/4 lime juice
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
Preparation
Cook quinoa in 2 cups water, season as you like.
Mix all ingredients in bowl and let sit at least 20 minutes before serving to allow flavors to blend.

Cook's Notes (from Allison)
Be careful with the salt because it is really intensified by the lime juice and it's easy to over do it!

I like to prepare and leave it in the fridge overnight.
