Quinoa Tabouli

Greek Goddess Aphrodite is the love goddess. She is who we turn to when we want to connect, hold and be intimate and so this recipe is inspired by her. Quinoa is high in plant-powered protein, helping the production of testosterone, bringing your hormones into balance for mood-enhancing, lovemaking.
