My favorite part of this Quinoa Tabbouleh dish is how fun it is to say its name (keen-wah tah-boo-lee). My second favorite part is how amazingly healthy it is.
In a small saucepan bring the water to a boil. Thoroughly rinse quinoa under water then add to saucepan along with a pinch of salt. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature; fluff with a fork.
Meanwhile, combine olive oil, sea salt, lemon juice, tomatoes, cucumber, green onion, carrot, and parsley in a large bowl. Stir in the cooled quinoa.
