Quinoa Tabbouleh

Quinoa Tabbouleh

I love Mediterranean food and have already shared my favorite hummus recipe. Another favorite is a fresh Tabbouleh salad. Sadly, when I eat out at great Mediterranean restaurants I have to avoid the Tabbouleh since it is made with bulger wheat which is not gluten-free. I side step this salad when out and instead make my fresh and tasty Tabbouleh with my favorite grain/seed. . . Quinoa.

I prepare quinoa in a rice maker just like I do rice with a 1 to 2 ratio. You may have a favorite method or cook it in a pan and it all works for this salad. Just make for sure your quinoa is completely cool before you add in the fresh vegetables. Also, you can use white, red or any version of this quinoa. All work beautifully.

This recipe is not only gluten-free, but is also vegan and with the added quinoa is full of protein and fiber. This is a great summer salad to share at a picnic or eat for lunch in the office. I am going to go enjoy a bowl for my Friday dinner right now. Enjoy! ~ Lia

Hi Lia, My Name is Karen Dabbour. My husband and I are in the process of opening a Arabic restaurant in OKC. One of the items we will have is quinoa tabbouleh. When I came across your recipe and I saw the beautiful picture of the ingredients, I immediately wished I could get one.
So my question to you Lia is, would it be possible to get a copy of the poster or photo. I don’t know if you had it made or if you bought it somewhere. Either way I would soooo love to have one to hang in my restaurant if there is any possible way.
Please let me know either way. Take care.
Sincerely,
Karen Dabbour

Looks like a great recipe. I love quinoa, and I think it it a very versatile grain. I didn’t think about tabbouleh, but I can totally see how it can work here.

We often use quinoa in our house, sometimes when I don’t have time for anything fancy, I dress quinoa with soy sauce, toasted sesame oil and toasted sunflower seeds. It is fast, delicious and makes a super snack or side dish.

It is fun to make good recipes with a different twist.
