A refreshing variation on a Middle Eastern standard

"I didn't have any cucumber, and corn isn't my thing. So I basically didn't make the recipe, but I instead used,

Diced tomato
Quinoa cooked in tomato juice
Fresh chopped parsley
Fresh chopped green onion

Then I just combined and let it cool down to around room temperature and that was awesome." - nicholassmith

    Light, flavorful and delicious and colorful.

    For you cold 'salad' lovers. This is a great side dish for the summer months, especially in AZ—where I live. Very simple to make, and the recipe (as written here) makes enough for two people for several meals.

    A great summer side dish. Short shelf life. You may wish to add 1-2tbsp olive oil. [I posted this recipe.]
