Quinoa Tabbouleh

This tabouli recipe is different. Instead of using bulgur like traditional tabouli, this recipe uses quinoa. It is a grain that is available at health food stores. It looks and tastes better than bulgur. My husband and I both love this and neither of us is vegetarian. Its a great meal for a hot summer day. The longer it sits the better it tastes.
