Quinoa Tabouli

I had to use up some fresh parsley before it went bad so I got right to the task by browsing the Aladdin's menu and picking a couple things I wanted to try. I have no idea what Tabouli (or Tabouleh?) is supposed to taste like but I did like the one I made. I sort of combined a couple recipes based on what I had (no tomatoes!) and used quinoa instead of the traditional bulgur. I'm putting my recipe at the bottom. It was a little heavy on the onions but I liked it that way!  


1/2 cup quinoa
1/8 cup lemon juice
1/8 cup olive oil
1/2 Tbsp lime juice
1 1/2 cloves minced garlic
1/4 cucmber, chopped
1/8 cup green onion, chopped
1/4 cup red onion, chopped
2 oz cheese
1 cup fresh parsley
2 Tbsp dried mint

Cook quinoa, let cool. Whisk lemon juice, lime juice, olive oil and garlic together. Pour over quinoa, then mix in the rest of ingredients and refrigerate for as long as you want.
