I make this with red quinoa, and I, like you, soak my quinoa for at least 8 hours, but I DO add tomatoes. Traditionally, tabouleh is also made with fresh mint, but it’s also really good with fresh basil added to it.

Another fun use of quinoa…… make the quinoa, soaked and just cooked in water. When it’s finished, mix it with a little tomato sauce or ketchup and taco seasonings – chili powder, cumin, onion, garlic – whatever suits your tastes. And serve as taco filling…….. oh so yummy! I tend to make mine on the spicy end, so I usually reserve out some for my little boys just plain and make their tacos with plain and toppings – they love it!

I love quinoa and use it alot! I would like to mention though that you really must rinse quinoa throughly before you soak it because the saponin is very bitter and will effect the taste of your dish. Here is a like with more detailed info.

You know, I make a quinoa tabbouleh very similar to this, but with tomato instead of the red pepper. But the major difference is that I sprout my quinoa, instead of cooking it. It gets soft enough just from the sprouting, and is such a nice, tasty way to get in more raw sprouts. Have you ever tried them that way before?

Now you’ve made me want to make this again… I tend to make it only in the summer, but it’s spring, so why not!
