Quinoa Tabouli
with Roasted Vegetables & Tzatziki
Sumac is a crimson-colored berry that is dried, ground to a powder, and used as a spice in many Middle Eastern cuisines. It adds a tart, floral flavor to this herby, veggie-packed grain salad. Chickpeas and fluffy white quinoa boost the protein and fiber for a hearty, filling dinner.
