Here are the changes I made (actual recipe below): I only used one carrot and it was way too much (a very small carrot or half a big carrot would be good) and I used way less olive oil and lemon juice (just added some until it tasted good). I prefer italian parsely to regular, so I used italian. We made a yogurt sauce, falafal (from a box), and hummus then added it to pitas with lettuce, soo yummy! Also good as a cold salad with lettuce/spinach for leftovers, and feta also would have been a nice addition.<br /><br />Ingredients<br />• 2 cups water <br />• 1 cup quinoa <br />• 1 pinch salt <br />• 1/4 cup olive oil <br />• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt <br />• 1/4 cup lemon juice <br />• 3 tomatoes, diced <br />• 1 cucumber, diced <br />• 2 bunches green onions, diced <br />• 2 carrots, grated <br />• 1 cup fresh parsley, chopped <br />Directions<br />1. In a saucepan bring water to a boil. Add quinoa and a pinch of salt. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Allow to cool to room temperature; fluff with a fork. <br />2. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine olive oil, sea salt, lemon juice, tomatoes, cucumber, green onions, carrots and parsley. Stir in cooled quinoa.Leslie Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14761108405031438435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8778966992247837584.post-68927051529685728642010-02-14T13:44:27.885-08:002010-02-14T13:44:27.885-08:00Andrew and I are trying to be onboard with the cle...Andrew and I are trying to be onboard with the clean eating too! He was actually inspired with a very similar concept he saw on TV. <br /><br />One of our main challenges is that a lot of our eating is tied to social events, where it can be hard to stick to the plan. <br /><br />We'll give it a go though (I'm sure it'll be a work in progress for awhile), and I'll let you know if we come across any good recipes!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497343465973068475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8778966992247837584.post-8460179627099558862010-02-07T13:58:00.375-08:002010-02-07T13:58:00.375-08:00Leslie, do you have a recipe for the quinoa taboul...Leslie, do you have a recipe for the quinoa tabouli? I've tried a quinoa recipe before and didnt like it so I have been hesitant to try it again. I would give it another shot if I can create the same dish you loved. :)Carynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07586303423413154422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8778966992247837584.post-6343146256588410272010-02-07T08:58:59.355-08:002010-02-07T08:58:59.355-08:00Cliff, here's the ingridients for clean Mt.
