A deliciously herby, lemony, garlicky Quinoa Tabbouleh Salad – naturally gluten free and entirely plant-based. This is an extremely nutrient-dense meal, high in protein and fibre, brimming with antioxidants.<\/em><\/p>\n

We’ve been craving lighter meals here, and with the parsley near going rogue in the garden it would be rude not to make a tabbouleh salad, wouldn’t it?<\/p>\n

This recipe has a few Lauren additions – roast tomatoes (increases the lycopene content – a potent antioxidant), cucumbers (apparently not served in traditional Lebanese tabbouleh), and Za’atar spice blend in the dressing (because, extra lemony herby spicy goodness).<\/p>\n

Made with tri-colour quinoa rather than bulgur wheat, to make it gluten free and coeliac friendly. If you have a sensitive tum, rinse well to help reduce the saponin content before cooking.<\/p>\n

This recipe is quick, simple and delicious, the perfect salad to take along to a summer picnic. The real beauty of it is, the longer you leave it, the better it tastes!<\/p>\n
