This dish replaces traditional bulgur with quinoa, providing a protein-packed alternative that is both gluten-free and vegan-friendly. Every bite offers a burst of fresh parsley, mint, and lemon juice, perfectly complemented by the richness of olive oil and the subtle crunch of fresh cucumbers and tomatoes. Ideal for a light lunch or a side dish, Quinoa Tabbouleh embodies the essence of healthy, flavor-forward eating. Its versatility makes it a welcome addition to any meal, serving as a bright side dish or a fulfilling main course for those seeking a light, nutritious option.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup quinoa

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Steps:
