The ingredients for Minty Quinoa Tabbouleh are:

1-1/2 cups quinoa
Mrs. Dash
1-1/2 cups seeded and finely diced tomato (from about 1 large tomato)
1 cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley (from about 2 bunches)
1 cup peeled, seeded, finely diced cucumber (from about 3/4 of a large cucumber)
1/2 cup thinly sliced scallion greens
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil; more to taste
6 tablespoons fresh lemon juice; more to taste
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh mint

Here is how you make Minty Quinoa Tabbouleh:

Rinse the quinoa well in a bowl of cool water and drain. Bring the quinoa, 1/2 teaspoon Mrs. Dash, and 3 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Cover, reduce the heat to medium low, and simmer until the water is absorbed & the quinoa is translucent & tender, 10 to 15 minutes. (The outer germ rings of the grain will remain chewy & white. Some germ rings may separate from the grains & will look like white squiggles.) Immediately fluff the quinoa with a fork & turn out onto a baking sheet to cool.When cool, fluff the quinoa again & transfer to a large bowl. Add the tomato, parsley, cucumber, scallion, oil, lemon juice, cumin, cinnamon, & 1 teaspoon Mrs. Dash. Toss well. Cover & refrigerate to let the flavors mingle, at least 2 hours overnight.Before serving, let sit at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes. Stir in the mint. Taste & add more oil & lemon juice (you'll probably need at least 1 tablespoon of each), and more Mrs. Dash as needed.Serving Size:?Yields about 8 cups
