QUINOA TABBOULEH WITH FETA
This quinoa tabbouleh is one of my go-to recipes. Quinoa, a grain that originated in South America, is considered a superfood because it contains more protein than most grains. It has a nutty flavor that tastes wonderful with the cucumbers, tomatoes, scallions, feta and mint, and it's a great gluten-free alternative to traditional bulgur wheat. Best of all, you can make this salad ahead; if it sits at room temperature for a few hours, the lemon vinaigrette really has time to soak into the quinoa and vegetables, so the salad is even more delicious!

Steps:
- Pour 2 cups of water into a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Add the quinoa and 1 teaspoon of salt, lower the heat and simmer, covered, for 15 minutes, until the grains are tender and open (they'll have little curly tails). Drain, place in a bowl and immediately add the lemon juice, olive oil and 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt.*
- In a large bowl, combine the scallions, mint, parsley, cucumber, tomatoes, 1 to 2 teaspoons of salt* and 1 teaspoon of pepper. Add the quinoa and mix well. Carefully fold in the feta and taste for seasonings. Serve at room temperature or refrigerate and serve cold.
- * Ina uses Diamond Crystal Kosher Salt, which is coarser than other brands; if you are using a finer-grain kosher salt such as Morton, use the smaller amount.

- First cook the quinoa, bring the chicken broth to a boil, add the quinoa, stir, reduce heat to a simmer, cover and let cook for 20 minutes. Then fluff with a fork.
- While the quinoa is cooking, prepare the bacon. I like to cook it in the oven at 450 degrees for about 10 minutes, until crispy. Blot excess grease with a paper towel and then crumble.
- You can cook the broccoli, or eat it raw. I like to quickly steam it in the microwave. I rinse the broccoli in water, and then pour a couple of tablespoons of water into a microwave-safe bowl. Add the broccoli and microwave for 2-3 minutes, until fork tender. Then drain off the excess water.
