Excellent tomatoes and homemade sourdough bread ensured that this salad was delicious. The quinoa was barely noticeable but added substantial protein to the dish so it was quite filling without being too heavy. Normally I seed tomatoes for a salad so it’s not too watery but I didn’t this time since the bread was there to absorb the additional liquid (and flavour!)
friederike from Berlin,
It was nice, but I'm not that sure it was worth all the extra work compared to a simple tomato salad. Then again it had to compete against a European Chamionship football game I was missing while preparing the salad, so the initial situation wasn't exactly favourable :)
As usual, I love the combination of tomato and coriander - you can never go wrong on that. I do think that the combination of bread and grain is a little too much. I used both couscous and bulgur as I didn't have any quinoa - the latter might be a lot lighter than couscous, and certainly so compared to bulgur, but yet I just don't see the need to add both - use either bread or grain, both choices will be fine.
