I got the idea of making tabouli with quinoa to up the protein factor. But, then I found out that bulgur wheat is pretty high in protein too (less amino acids though!).
1 cup of quinoa, prepared and chilled
2 bunches of flat leaf parsley, finely chopped
1 small bunch of mint, finely chopped
1 bunch of green onion, chopped
2-3 tomatoes, diced
3 cloves of garlic, chopped
2 lemons, juiced
1/4 cup olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Prepare all of the ingredients and toss to combine. Chill and serve with lettuce leaves and pita bread.
