Try tabbouleh, an herbaceous Middle Eastern salad traditionally made with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/bulgur-wheat\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/bulgur-wheat\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">bulgur wheat<\/a>. Here, we make our tabbouleh with quinoa, a so-called &#8220;superfood&#8221; that&#8217;s gluten free and a good source of plant protein. The light, fluffy, grain-like seeds have a similar texture to couscous. Used in salads, quinoa gives a refreshing, airy quality.<\/p>\n<p>The flavors in our quinoa tabbouleh are as fresh as those in traditional <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/tabouleh\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/tabouleh\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">tabbouleh<\/a> recipe: juicy tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, bright lemon juice and a ton of refreshing herbs. This recipe is a fantastic vegan main course or refreshing side dish for any summer cookout.<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients for Quinoa Tabbouleh<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Quinoa:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/what-is-quinoa\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/what-is-quinoa\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">Quinoa<\/a> looks like a grain, but it&#8217;s actually a seed. White quinoa has the most delicate flavor and fluffiest texture. For nuttier notes, use red or black quinoa.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Veggies:<\/strong> Crisp cucumber, juicy tomatoes and aromatic green onions come together to give the salad a complex texture and refreshing finish.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Herbs:<\/strong> Fresh parsley and mint are essential ingredients for any tabbouleh salad, adding a punch of herbaceous flavor to every bite.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tabbouleh dressing:<\/strong> We make a simple dressing with lemon juice for acidity and extra virgin olive oil for richness. High-quality olive oil makes a difference here, so opt for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/best-olive-oil-brands\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/best-olive-oil-brands\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">best olive oil<\/a> you can afford.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Cook the quinoa<\/h3>\n<p>In a large saucepan, bring the water and 1\/2 teaspoon of the salt to a boil. Add the quinoa, and reduce the heat. Cover and simmer until the liquid is absorbed, 12 to 15 minutes.<\/p>\n<p><em>Editor&#8217;s Tip:\u00a0<\/em>If you&#8217;re new to quinoa, get more tips on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-cook-quinoa\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-cook-quinoa\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">how to cook quinoa<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 2: Cool the quinoa<\/h3>\n<p>Remove from heat, and fluff the quinoa with a fork. Transfer the quinoa to a bowl, and let cool completely.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 3: Toss the quinoa with veggies and dressing<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1983148 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Easy-Quinoa-Tabbouleh_FT24_275961_ST_0403_1.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Easy Quinoa Tabbouleh Ft24 275961 St 0403 1\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Add the parsley, cucumber, tomatoes, green onions and mint to the bowl with the cooled quinoa. In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, pepper and remaining 1\/2 teaspoon sea salt. Drizzle the dressing over the salad, and toss to coat. Let stand 30 minutes before serving. Refrigerate the leftovers.<\/p>\n<h2>Recipe Variations<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Add feta cheese:<\/strong> Fold in crumbled feta cheese to give this tabbouleh salad a creamy finish and tangy flavor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Make it spicy:<\/strong> Add a little heat to the salad with diced jalapeno peppers or crushed red pepper flakes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Increase the herbs:<\/strong> Tabbouleh salad is a celebration of herbs, so don&#8217;t be afraid to add more! Increase the parsley and mint, or include other leafy herbs like cilantro or dill.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Can you make tabbouleh in advance?<\/h2>\n<p>Quinoa tabbouleh actually tastes better if you make it in advance. The quinoa has a chance to absorb the flavors from the lemon dressing when it stands for at least 30 minutes (or as long as overnight). You can leave quinoa tabbouleh on the counter for up to two hours. If you need more time, store it in a covered dish in the refrigerator until you&#8217;re ready to serve.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Store Quinoa Tabbouleh<\/h2>\n<p>Store quinoa tabbouleh in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Tabbouleh is good for up to one week, but the vegetables will only stay crisp for about two to three days.<\/p>\n<h2>Quinoa Tabbouleh Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1983149\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Easy-Quinoa-Tabbouleh_FT24_275961_ST_0403_3.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Easy Quinoa Tabbouleh\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Is quinoa healthier than bulgur?<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;Healthy&#8221; means different things to different people, so it depends on what you&#8217;re looking for! Both quinoa and bulgur are nutrient-dense ingredients that contain vitamins, protein and fiber. Tabbouleh with quinoa is a good option for anyone with wheat allergies or sensitivities, as quinoa is a gluten-free ingredient.<\/p>\n<h3>What do you serve with quinoa tabbouleh salad?<\/h3>\n<p>Quinoa tabbouleh can be served as a light side or main dish. Serve the salad in butter lettuce cups or endive leaves for a colorful appetizer, or pair it with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/traditional-pita-bread\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/traditional-pita-bread\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">pita bread<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/best-hummus\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/best-hummus\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">hummus<\/a> as a snack.
