This tabbouleh is a great way to use up leftover quinoa. I usually make a big batch of quinoa on the weekend and then use it to make tabbouleh throughout the week. It's a quick and easy lunch or dinner option.

This tabbouleh is a great make-ahead dish. I usually make it the night before and let it sit in the refrigerator overnight. The flavors meld together and it tastes even better the next day.
