Queen of the Grain Salads

Lately I been in pursuit of economical meals that are nutritionally balanced, offer a variety of flavors, and easy to isabel marant shoes prepare. Middle Eastern dishes that use whole, fresh foods and pungent spices fit the bill perfectly.

Quinoa offered a fabulous spin on a traditional tabouleh salad by replacing the typical couscous or bulgar as the grain. In an ongoing effort to save money and prevent waste, I used a combination of vegetables from my refrigerator drawer.

To my delight, the vegetables on hand comprised a rainbow of colors: purple cabbage, celery, red onion, Italian parsley, fresh mint, seeded bits of tomato, minced cucumber. I enhanced this colorful medley with crumbles of feta cheese and toasted almond slivers.

A fresh and light dressing using 1 part olive oil to 3 parts isabel marant shoes for sale fresh lemon juice with a pinch of sea salt and a couple of grinds of pepper perked up the mixture.

After a good tossing, it rested in the for about an hour the same time it took to set the table, enjoy a glass of wine and prepare the protein.

Skewered kofta kebabs complemented our Quinoa Tabouleh perfectly, accompanied by a CucumberMint Tzatziki Sauce, to round out the meal for dinner although the tabouleh alone makes a fine lunch or vegetarian dinner.

Another twist adding fresh or leftover chopped meat, poultry, fish or tofu turns this into a healthful and http://www.lhbon.com/isabel-marant-c-144/ balanced mealinone for lunch or dinner.
