I’ve always loved a tasty quinoa salad, especially during summer. Lately I’ve been making it on the regular. I did pick up a massive 4 lb bag at Costco a few weeks ago. Again like many other recipes it was pinned on the Heathly Eats Pinterest board awhile back, but I’m trying out new recipes weekly. This is one that is sure to stay… I’ve already made it a few times and recently used rosemary instead of mint. Delish!

What a great gluten free version of tabbouleh. I would love if you'd share this on my foodie friday party today. I will pin it too.
