Quinoa Tabbouleh Salad is a fresh take on an old classic. It’s naturally vegan, gluten-free, and healthy. And of course, Quinoa Tabbouleh Salad is really delicious!
What do you think? Looks good, doesn’t it? And it’s so easy to make!
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!
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!

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 🙂
Hi Jo! Thank you for letting me know! I made the correction. 🙂
My daughter used to love tabbouleh but she has Celiac. This is a version that she can enjoy too!
I hope she enjoys it, Pam! It’s hard missing out on your favorite foods, but fortunately there are more substitutions these days.
This salad is so colorful! Looks delicious and perfect for enjoying during spring and summer!

This looks so fresh and delicious! Perfect for all the summer BBQs coming up!
Thanks Jenn! I love summer!
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!
Thanks Olivia! It’s a great healthy alternative to bulgur.
I LOVE quinoa! I can’t wait to try this, and try to channel some summer vibes around here!
I hope it makes you feel more summery!
I was going to subscribe to your newsletter until the ad for Dickies Barbeque appeared. How disappointing.
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.
