Quinoa tabbouleh (vegan/gluten-free)

Thanks Brando!

Prepare 1/2 cup quinoa as directed on packaging

Crack a beer, the next part will take awhile:

Achieve inner peace

Combine:
1/2 cup de-stemmed, finely chopped, fresh parsley
2 medium (or 3 small or one huge) tomatoes, seeded, chopped
1/4 cup green onion, chopped (red if you're feeling frisky)
2 tablespoons dried mint (if you don't like mint, and you've made it this far, plan on giving as a gift or taking to a potluck)
1/4 cup EVOO
1/4 lime juice
Dash of salt
Dash of pepper

Add the cooked quinoa

Dump the whole thing in some gladware and shake it up

Chill (you and the food) for at least an hour, so the flavors combine (food) and hunger builds (you). Now is a good time to finish that now room temp beer.

Eat w/ pita & green olives, or really salta pita chips

Try to save some as leftovers

Feel good about what you just ate
