Recipe Description

Quinoa Tabbouleh is a refreshing and vibrant vegan salad teeming with flavors of the Middle Eastern cuisine. 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

2 cups water
1 bunch fresh parsley, finely chopped
1/4 cup fresh mint, finely chopped
2 medium tomatoes, diced
1 cucumber, diced
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

Rinse the quinoa under cold running water.
In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the quinoa, cover, and reduce to a simmer for 15 minutes, or until quinoa is fluffy.
Allow quinoa to cool, then combine with parsley, mint, tomatoes, cucumber, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
Toss until everything is well mixed and season to taste. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
