Should you rinse quinoa for quinoa beet tabbouleh?

Can you use roasted beetroot in quinoa beet tabbouleh?

Can quinoa beet tabbouleh be made ahead?

What is Quinoa beet tabbouleh?
Quinoa beet tabbouleh is a kisir- or tabbouleh-style salad made with cooked quinoa, beetroot and fresh herbs, dressed with lemon and a little oil. The quinoa stays tender with a slight bite, while beetroot brings earthy sweetness and a vivid colour. It is a modern variation rather than a single fixed traditional recipe, so ingredients and seasoning can vary.
Serve it chilled or at room temperature as a light lunch, a side dish or part of a mezze-style spread; it pairs well with leafy greens, grilled vegetables or plain yoghurt. With 2.7 g of fibre per 100 g, it adds some fibre while remaining relatively light. For a fresher, lighter bowl, use less oil and lean on lemon and herbs for flavour.
