Gluten-Free Recipes: Lunch

Quinoa Tabbbouleh
Gluten alternative: Quinoa

Makes: 6 servings
Prep: 10 minutes
Cook: 20 minutes

Ingredients
1 cup quinoa
1 medium ripe, red tomato, seeded and diced (1 cup)
1 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley leaves
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh mint leaves
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (from 2 lemons)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Directions
1. Prepare the tabbouleh: Thoroughly rinse quinoa and combine with 1 1/4 cups of water in a medium-sized pot. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 15 minutes. Remove pan from the heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes to steam and finish cooking. Transfer quinoa to a large bowl and cool to room temperature.
2. Add the tomato to the cooled quinoa. Add the parsley, mint, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper, and stir gently until well combined. Cover and set aside in the refrigerator. (Will keep for 2 to 3 days in the refrigerator.) Serve with hummus, veggies and gluten-free crackers.

For those of you who also refuse to do research about gliten, here's a start; the definition of gluten: Gluten: A protein found in wheat or related grains and many foods that we eat. RESEARCH, RESEARCH. RESEARCH!!!

The author should really learn all the facts about a gluten free diet. Celiac disease is NOT the only disease affected by gluten. There are other autoimmune diseases that are affected as well (i.e. RA,MS) This article can be very misleading to someone who hasn't done their research. Maybe if the author(s) suffered through an autoimmune disease they would be more understanding. RESEARCH, RESEARCH, RESEARCH!!!

This article is not one bit misleading! Gluten as it is highly processed in our country is bad... Period!! I am 53 and chose to try gluten free and it has changed my life. No more occasional stomach pain, no more hot flashes, no more night sweats, diminished joint pain. Our foods in this country are so highly processed it truly disgusts me. We are so educated on what is healthy yet one of the most obese and unhealthy countries in the world.
