We took the tangy fresh flavors of tabbouleh and combined them with smoky tofu and quinoa to create a main meal salad that is perfect served on a bed of vegetables. This salad is packed with heart-healthy ingredients: whole grains (quinoa), legumes (soy-based tofu) and lots of vegetables.

Instructions

In a medium saucepan, bring water and 1/2 teaspoon salt to a boil. Add quinoa and bring back to a boil. Simmer gently, cover and cook until water is absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes. Spread quinoa on a baking sheet and let cool for 10 minutes.
