Quinoa Tabbouleh

Ahhh…nothing says summer like a refreshing salad with crisp veggies.  I love the Asian Slaw, but this is a tasty alternative that is higher in protein due to the quinoa.  It has a very light, simple flavor and is easy to prepare.

This recipe is from Tosca Reno’s Eat Clean Diet Cookbook.
