Thanks. So glad we can inspire you 🙂

Looks amazing! Do you think I can make this with tri color quinoa? It's a mixed one from Trader Joes. Thanks.
Vicky & Ruth says
Sure you can use the tricolor quinoa. It won't look as a traditional Tabbouleh, but it will be delicious. We love tricolor quinoa.

HI
Im making this recipe for a 60 person seder. Any idea how much quinoa I would need?
or even how much the yield of 6 cups serves?. Thank so much its looks great!
Vicky & Ruth says
Hi Staci,
We are assuming you are making more than one side dish or salad, so we think 1/2 cup per person should be sufficient. We will make a note on the recipe, thank you for pointing that out together with nutritional information. We have never cooked quinoa in such large quantities, but we think it would probably be better to cook the quinoa in several batches instead of a really large one. Good luck for all that cooking! Let us know how it comes out.

Was planning on making this now for our Saturday seder. Is 48+ hours too long for it to sit in fridge? Thanks so much for your recipes!!
Vicky & Ruth says
Hi Sharon, you can make the quinoa Tabbouleh 48 + hours ahead, it does taste better when the parsley and quinoa absorb the dressing. However, we would just wait and add the tomatoes either right before serving or a few hours before serving. We hope that helps. Chag Sameach!
