We took the tangy fresh flavors of tabbouleh and paired them with smoky tofu and quinoa to create a main-dish salad that's perfect served on a bed of greens. This salad is jam-packed with heart-healthy ingredients--whole grains (quinoa), legumes (soy-based tofu) and plenty of vegetables.
2 cups water
¾ teaspoon salt, divided
1 cup quinoa, rinsed well (see Tip)
¼ cup lemon juice
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 small cloves garlic, minced
¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 6- or 8-ounce package baked smoked tofu, (see Tip), diced
1 small yellow bell pepper, diced
1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
1 cup diced cucumber
½ cup chopped fresh parsley
½ cup chopped fresh mint
