Tabouli what? It is basically a fancy way to call a bowl, and I am trying to confuse you! Did it work?! I love this option, because it's a perfect example of how you can get all your nutrients in without overloading on animal-based proteins only! Quinoa is one of my absolute favorites, because it is so hypoallergenic and easily digestible! Something NEW for you to try and get all the protein, fat and carbs from this amazing plant-based recipe! YUM!
INGREDIENTS:
- 7oz quinoa (uncooked)
- 1 cucumber, sliced

Cook the quinoa according to packet instructions.
In a large bowl, toss together the cucumber, cherry tomatoes, spring onions and parsley, along with the olive oil and lemon juice. Season well with salt & cracked pepper.
