Tabouli Cold Plate

Last night we didn’t feel like cooking much, so we made a cold plate of hummus, guacamole, whole wheat crackers, pesto, sliced tomatoes and home made tabouli.

Tabouli is a cold Mediterranean salad, usually made of bulgur wheat, parsley, cucumber, tomato lemon juice, and garlic. We made ours with quinoa instead of bulghur, and you can use basically any grain you want.

Here is a lose recipe for homemade tabouli:

cooked, cooled whole grain
lemon juice, and/or vinegar
olive oil
finely chopped green onion, tomato, cucumber, parsley (or some combination of those)
garlic
salt and pepper

For extra pizzaz:
mint, sesame seeds
