The last few days here in Austin, Texas have been blazing hot. Too hot to cook anything elaborate, but I still want something filling and delicious.

So, during the hot summer season I like to stock my fridge with cooked grains, rice and beans to make quick, simple and nutritious sides and salads.

Today, it's a spin on tabbouleh. I use quinoa instead of bulgar wheat and sweet and plump apricots in place of chopped tomato. Give it a go next time you want something quick to fix!
