QUINOA TABBOULEH
Make this salad ahead of time so the lemon juice really has time to soak into the quinoa and vegetables, so the salad is even more delicious!

2 tablespoons lemon juice
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 cucumber, halved lengthwise, deseeded, chopped
2 spring onions, chopped
3 tomatoes halved, deseeded and chopped
1 cup finely chopped flat leafed parsley
3/4 cup finely chopped coriander leaves
3 tablespoons pine nuts, toasted
