Recently I received a comment on the Lego party post that read,"omg these dishes look super tasty.. I d love to know the recipes :) Jean ". Thanks for asking Jean, here's one of the recipes from the party, Quinoa Tabbouleh. It's a fresh tasting healthy dish that's great for summer. It can also be made the day before. The other dishes I had made for the party were Shell Pasta Salad and Sweet Potato P0blano Salad. The main dish was sandwiches from our local deli.Quinoa Tabbouleh Recipe

I love quinoa tabouleh. My version has green bell peppers, fresh garlic finely chopped, and no carrot. I like to add cumin, mint, a little crushed red pepper, and salt. I like to chop the garlic in the food processor with the spices (makes in chop better) and pulse the other veggies. It's so much faster and you can just cut any pieces that don't get chopped before the smaller pits go to mush.
Thank you for sharing this recipe! I've moved to quinoa from couscous and have been looking for new ways to serve it... this sounds perfect for the hot summer we've been having.
