Nutritional values

Quinoa is a super source of essential amino acids. Especially lysine is needed for muscle growth and wound healing. Kale scores with lots of vitamin C. The water-soluble vitamin ensures strong defenses.

Out of season for squash and kale, you can also substitute carrots and baby spinach for these two vegetables, giving the quinoa tabbouleh a very different flavor twist.
