QUINOA TABBOULEH SALAD

QUINOA tabbouleh 3This super simple salad is such a great lunch box option or the perfect side for all those upcoming barbecues.

By replacing the cracked wheat you would usually use with quinoa you’re creating a far more filling salad. It’s also gluten free for all those that worry about that. I love it by itself or as part of a salad bowl with roasted veggies and hummus.

It’s also great served along side the mince and hummus dish as part of a family style spread.

I’ve done something I would never usually do and included red onion in this recipe, if I could eat it with red onion I would! I use spring onion instead because I’m a lame fructard but you use whatever you prefer. If you find red onion too pungent when it’s raw try soaking the chopped onion in some water while you prepare the other vegetables and then draining it and using.
