Quinoa Tabouli



Recommended Posts

Have any of you tried this? It has a good balance of Protein, complex carb and some good fats. This particular variety came from costco.

Here it is as part of my lunch today:

Here are some nutritional stats on it:

I just do not like that the sodium is so high (probably mostly to preserve rather than flavor). Keep in mind that nut stats are for 1/2 cup. I have about 1.5 tbsp on my plate.

It does not look hard to make from scratch. I am sure some of you chef inclined folks could make this fairly easily.

chicken on plate is about 3 ounces and is sort of prepared like satay without the fish sauce. Very tasty. There is about 1 ounce of brussel sprouts.

What do you think of this food item?

I think I have the same, except here it's spelt tabbouleh.. Pretty sure it's the same?? Or maybe not! I used to cook mine in chicken stock.. Then add cucumber, mint, tomatoes and avocado. It was delicious with a piece of grilled salmon or some halloumi cheese. It always used to fill me up. I haven't since been sleeved though. Your lunch looks great :) forgot to say feta and olives stuffed with anchovies were also a nice addition

I like quinoa in tabuli, stir frys, and instead of rice in many dishes. I didn't eat it again for quite awhile after surgery because I just didn't have room for much besides dense Protein. But now that my capacity is larger, I often eat it as a grain with meals. I do prefer to make my own to control oil, salt, and other flavorings.
