Quinoa Tabbouleh Salad (vegan and gluten free)

Traditional Tabbouleh is made with cracked wheat or bulgur, parsley, mint, tomatoes, onion, lemon juice and olive oil.

When I discovered my gluten intolerance, I was sad that I would no longer be able to enjoy some of my favorite dishes, such as this one.

But now I can have it whenever I want, thanks to quinoa!

 

 

Quinoa Tabbouleh Salad (vegan and gluten free)

I like to serve Quinoa Tabbouleh Salad along side some hummus and raw vegetables.

In addition, you can enjoy it with some other salads such as Olive Cucumber Chickpea Salad, Roasted Chickpea Fattoush Salad, or Mediterranean Cucumber and Tomato Salad.

In fact, you could take all of these recipes, add in some Stuffed Grape Leaves, and you’ll have a fabulous spread for a party!

How will you serve this Quinoa Tabbouleh Salad?

    Hi! Just wondering … the video shows mint as an ingredient, but in the recipe from the website mint is not included. Is it supposed to be included? Thanks 🙂

      I hope she enjoys it, Pam! It’s hard missing out on your favorite foods, but fortunately there are more substitutions these days.

    Using quinoa for the base is such a good idea! It’s a great food, one I love to have with just a little seasoning (it even fits my low carb diet). I typically make tabbouleh with bulgur wheat, but this is a great idea. Adding it to the list of things to try!

      Oh no! I’m not supposed to have ads like that for meat on my site. If I see it, I will report it. Thank you for letting me know! I hope you will reconsider.

      I completely understand. I have been trying to limit my intake of oil as well. I would try adding a little vegetable broth in place of the olive oil if the tabbouleh seems too dry without it.
