Sprouted Quinoa Salad/Tabbouleh

Here's my gluten-free take on this traditional dish. The sprouted quinoa makes this seed more digestible by removing the phytates and also allows you to "cook" it by just pouring boiling water over it! This is a summer dish in my area being able to avoid oven/stove top time is a big plus. This dish improves with time in the fridge. If you want to ramp up the nutrient value and highlight the freshness of the herbs and vegetables, decrease the quinoa to 1/2 cup.
