Rinse the quinoa with cool water.
Boil the water in a saucepan, add the quinoa and simmer for about 15 minutes or until all the water has been absorbed. You can add other ingredients (dried herbs, sea salt, tamari or soy sauce, lemon juice or apple cider vinegar) to the boiling water to get a more intense flavor.
Let the quinoa cool at room temperature, or add cold water. It has to be completely cool before making the salad.
In a large bowl, place the quinoa and the rest of the ingredients. Add the lemon juice and the extra virgin olive oil (optional) and stir.

I just made this. Really delicious! The tips to let the quinoa cool down completely and not add the liquids until serving I found helpful. I did't have any mint and I replaced the olive oil with 8 whole chopped black olives. I did put all ingredients together for a portion and put it into the fridge to marinate. lets see if it works.

This turned out very well! I liked that it called for green onions, as I've usually made tabbouleh with red or white onions and I find it hard to mince it small enough to taste like you're not just eating raw onion chunks. I also added cucumber to this, and I went lighter on the mint and heavier on the parsley than the recipe suggested.
