So, I said I was going to experiment a bit more in the kitchen. I am having so much fun! My creative side is coming out and I am super pumped to play with my food!
Today I made a deliciously filling lunch: Sprouted Quinoa Tabbouleh. So good.
Here’s how I made it: I soaked quinoa overnight in the fridge and then rinsed/drained on the counter most of the morning. About an hour before lunch, I added fresh-squeezed lemon juice, sea salt, and olive oil to the rinsed quinoa. I also added some garlic powder, basil, and dried mint leaves. Then I added diced tomatoes and cucumber with fresh chopped parsley. To finish off the dish, I sprinkled dill and fresh basil leaves on top and let the flavors mingle for about 30 minutes in the fridge.
When it was ready to eat, I garnished the dish with cucumber, tomato and basil, with a few sprinkles of dill. Delicious and beautiful!
I made enough
for leftovers tomorrow. I bet it will be even better then, allowing the grain to absorb the flavors.
There it is! My first original creation in the kitchen, with many more to come! This was fun! Now that I’ve shared mine, what is your favorite tabbouleh recipe?
this looks so good … i’ve been thinking about raw tabbouleh the last few days … i’m definitely going to try this …
This sounds so yummy! I can’t wait to try it. I’ve been meaning to to try a raw quinoa recipe and I love tabbouleh. Thanks!

This was awesome. I also added spritz of lime juice, goji berries, diced bok choy. YUMMY!
I had this today–yummy! I should have used a spoon but, it was fun trying to eat every last quinoa with a fork.
Thanks for the recipe idea!
