Strawberry & Quinoa Tabbouleh
This refreshing Summertime salad is a twist on a classic! It is tasty enough as a vegetarian entree or top it off with grilled chicken for a hearty Summer dinner! I had a big bowl of it in my fridge and devoured it two days straight!
Ingredients
1 cup quinoa
2 cups water
1/2 seedless cucumber, cut in half and sliced thin
1 pint fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
4 scallions, thinly sliced (white and green parts!)
3/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1/4 cup fresh mint, chopped
1 package crumbled feta
2 cloves garlic
Zest of 1 lemon
Juice of 1 lemon
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

In a small bowl make the vinaigrette by adding the minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, salt pepper, and grapeseed oil
