Quinoa Tabbouleh

Quinoa Tabbouleh

About the Recipe

Traditional tabbouleh is made with bulgur, or cracked wheat.
This quinoa riff is a great gluten-free option that still maintains the flavors of the original reference point.
There’s still the chopped tomato and cucumber, the fresh zip of lemon juice, and the abundant fresh herbs.
This salad holds up well, so it’s a good option for a picnic or potluck side.
To turn it into a main dish, stir in shredded rotisserie or leftover chicken—or to keep with more classic Middle Eastern flavors, add or serve with grilled lamb.
