Fresh & Quinoa Tabbouleh
15 mins
Easy
Upgrade your lunch with this high-protein twist on a classic Mediterranean favorite. It’s light, zesty, and keeps perfectly for a nourishing meal throughout the week.
This Quinoa Tabbouleh swaps traditional bulgur for protein-rich quinoa, creating a gluten-free dish packed with fresh parsley, crisp cucumber, and a bright lemon dressing. It is the perfect refreshing meal for busy days.
For the best texture, chop your herbs by hand rather than using a food processor. This keeps the leaves crisp and prevents the dish from becoming mushy.
