Quinoa salad

The other day I thought that quinoa and golden raisins might be a good combinations. After some quick Googling, I borrowed a recipe from this site. I ended up making what I would call quinoa tabouli, because it had the same taste as traditional tabouli.


I used most of the same ingredients as the original recipe, but substituting zucchini for cucumber, lemon juice for lime juice, olive oil for sesame oil (although sesame would have been good), and no cumin, no mint, no radish. I also added chunks of local feta cheese.

I cooked together only 1 cup of quinoa and 2 cups water with the raisins. This created about 4-5 servings of salad in the end. This dish was great because it stayed fresh in the fridge for quite a few days, and I didn't get tired of it!
