Easy Quinoa Tabbouleh recipe. This gluten free side dish makes a great meal prep vegetarian lunch.
Okay, one last summery post before we transition into fall flavours. I promise.
Well… maybe I will go back on my promise in a couple of days. But I will try my best to start with the pumpkin and apple baking soon!
So this recipe arose when I got parsley from my Imperfect Foods box and thought.. what the heck do I do with parsley??
After a quick Google search, it appears like Tabbouleh is a great option. The only problem is, I wanted to use it right away, and I didn’t have bulgar to make the classic version.
So I settled on this Quinoa Tabbouleh instead.
What do you need to make this Quinoa Tabbouleh?
Apart from parsley, most of the ingredients are probably ingredients you readily have in your kitchen. All you need is:
- quinoa
- parsley
- olive oil
- lemon juice
- tomatoes
- salt and pepper
That’s it!
If you are looking for more delicious quinoa recipes, I would suggest to try my favourite Kale and Quinoa Salad or my Summer Squash and Lemon Quinoa. I’m still building my database of parsley recipes, so stay tuned for that!
