Cook the quinoa—Heat oil a large sauté pan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add quinoa and cook, stirring constantly, to toast the quinoa—about 2 minutes.

Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and set aside until cooled to room temperature. | Add the veggies—Add cucumbers, tomatoes, and olives to quinoa and stir to combine evenly. | Finish and serve—Divide tabbouleh between individual bowls. Drizzle with dressing and sprinkle with fresh herbs. Enjoy!
