Tabbouleh is undoubtedly one of my favorite salads from the Middle Eastern origin. However, now I see many people moving to a gluten-free diet which is what inspired this dish. Instead of using bulgur or couscous like the original tabbouleh uses, I swapped it with quinoa which is a much healthier option and it keeps you full for a longer period of time! Surprisingly, the quinoa really enhanced the flavors brought by the lemon juice and parsley and now this dish is a favorite at my place!
