We love tabbouleh salad, but I haven’t made it since going gluten-free because it is made with bulgur wheat (which I love so much). I’ve seen all sorts of versions of tabbouleh made with quinoa instead. And we all know that someone (ME) loves quinoa. I threw this together for a quick late lunch on Saturday afternoon after I got home from the farm and running a few errands.
I ate it with a piece of GF toast slathered with vegan coconut butter, topped with thinly sliced radishes and a mix of amaranth and broccoli micro-greens. Hello, healthy lunch.
