We’re back from our trip to Orlando and there is NO food in this house…except for the ingredients I’d bought before we left to make my world-famous taboule.
So, this is what’s for dinner tonight.
Because I’m gluten-intolerant I substitute quinoa for the Near East Taboule Wheat Mix Salad in the recipe below. Todd loves this dish; I do too. It’s perfect as a side dish – or as your main meal if you’re not in the mood for anything heavy.

A gluten-free light quinoa salad that is full of flavor! A perfect summer salad or side.
