Sandra sent us a recipe for her family's tabbouleh which uses quinoa instead of the traditional bulgur for a gluten-free version. She notes "We are of Lebanese-descent, and my mother found out that she had Celiac Decease about 10 years ago. This tabbouleh recipe is preferred by all of us to the bulgur wheat variety! Pretty strong endorsement from a Lebanese family!" This flavorful salad can stand alone as a vegetarian main dish, thanks to quinoa's protein content, or be served as a side dish or sandwich filling.

1 cup quinoa, cooked according to package directions
1 cup finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
5 green onions, finely chopped
2 cups small grape tomatoes, halved

1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
Sea salt, pepper and crushed red pepper to taste
