This quinoa tabbouleh recipe is a delicious whole food marinated salad to enjoy as a side dish or as the center of a meal when you add it to a bed of fresh greens and top it off with some grilled protein. It includes healthy fat, beneficial acids, fresh herbs and veggies so it is rich in vitamins and phytonutrients - making this a delicious detox food!
Tabbouleh makes great use of this time of year's garden abundance including parsley, mint, tomatoes and cucumbers. Traditionally made with bulgar (split whole wheat), this recipe is a gluten-free version from the Delicious SP Detox Balance™ Program Recipes book by Standard Process, which substitutes quinoa for bulgur wheat. However, this recipe can be made with bulgar wheat, if you prefer. I enjoy it with grilled shrimp marinated in lemon and garlic!
