Texas Chowgirl

My mother-in-law and Texas native replaces parsley in many recipes with cilantro. This to me seems very Texas like so, with inspiration from her I made a Texas version of tabbouleh — with quinoa ❤️
Cook 1 cup of quinoa. Once it cools mix in:

A cup of cherry tomatoes sliced (or more)

1 whole cucumber diced

A bunch of cilantro chopped

1 mashed and minced garlic bulb

Juice of a half lime

1/4 cup olive oil mixed in

Salt to taste.

Mix and eat with or without sliced avocado.  Drizzle more olive oil on top and more lime juice if needed. (for intensity and moisture)

(This is fast metabolism diet friendly)

Yee haw!
