This is hardly a recipe because all you do is mix everything up but it is so light & yummy & pretty – I am posting. Traditionally, this is made with bulgar but I had quinoa (keen-wah) around & used that. The ration of ingredients is no science and pretty open to tweaking. It is great to eat with chunks of pita bread or as a sandwich spread. It is a light & salady thing & you don’t eat it in huge portions. It is kind of like a palate cleanser when eating other foods of the region like shawarma, gyros & hummus.

2 cups parsley – chopped finely (one large bunch)
