Chances are you've heard of tabouli. It's often featured in Middle Eastern dishes, either stuffed into your falafel or served alongside your hummus and pita. To be honest,I'm not a big of most tabouli recipes because it's often too oily and sour tasting. I also discovered that I'm not a big fan of the main ingredient in tabouli - bulgar wheat.The good news is I decided to revamp the recipe after preparing it in my Natural Gourmet cooking class. I replaced bulgar with quinoa, added more tomatoes, used less oil and added in the fresh herbs at the last minute so they don't wilt in the oil. Also, while this dish is traditionally served as a cold salad, I think it tastes much better served immediately at room temperature, Tip: If you don't like quinoa, feel free to substitute couscous or your favorite whole grain,
