Quinoa Tabouli with Fresh Herbs
This gluten-free version of classic middle eastern salad is a favorite in out home. Unfortunately, some people are not able to digest or eat wheat so the classic recipe that uses bulgur wheat needs to be adapted. We find this to be so refreshing, especially in the summer when the fresh herbs are so so abundant. It is wonderful to try different varieties of herbs and ingredients.

Try This Recipe to Increase Your Fresh Green Herbs
Getting enough leafy greens can be challenging. Especially when it comes to fresh herbs. There are not always everyone’s favorite flavor owing to their bitterness. However, they have so many health benefits that I think it is wonderful to find recipes where you can eat them regularly. Tabouli is a great option.
If you have the ability, having a small window or patio garden can be a great way to grow these herbs affordably. Each year when they go to seed, there are literally hundreds of new plants that can come from one plant. Plus, they add such a wonderful quality of flavor and nutrients.
Food Can Be a Powerful Tool for Creating Health
The food we eat has a major impact on our health, but the way we prepare it can also have an effect. Eating a diet high in processed foods, sugar, and unhealthy fats can lead to many health problems, such as obesity and heart disease. But what if I told you that changing these factors could make all the difference? Just by cooking your meals with whole food, plant-based ingredients, you can improve your health.

When I share a recipe on the blog, this is the food that I eat every day in our plant-based kitchen. We don’t strive for perfection, we aim for nourishment that can sustain us for the work we feel called to do while on this planet. This is a way to increase your daily leafy green intake.
I encourage you to reinvent and change the recipes to suit your palate and interests. In many ways, these recipes could be thought of as building blocks that will help you to create a routine in the kitchen that helps to reduce the decision fatigue that can come up.

Quinoa Tabouli with Fresh Herbs
Serving Size: 1 cup
Calories:
Ingredients
- 2 cups organic quinoa cooked and cooled
- 1 1/2 cups bunches of Italian flat-leaf parsley
- 1/2 cup fresh organic mint
- 1/2 cup fresh organic cilantro
- 1/4 cup lemon juice or more to taste
- 1/4 cup cold-pressed olive oil can use less
- 1 cup cucumbers diced with seeds removed
- 1 green onion chopped finely can omit
- Celtic sea salt or Himalayan salt to taste ground pepper to taste
Instructions
- Rinse 1 cup of uncooked quinoa and combine with 2 cups of water. Bring to boil and cover for 3-5 minutes. Lower the heat and simmer, uncovered until quinoa is tender which will take around 10-15 minutes.
- Finely chops the herbs and mix in a bowl with lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Dice the cucumbers and mix them with the other ingredients. Mix quinoa in and let sit fir few minutes prior to eating.
- As an aside, I do prefer to let the quinoa cool prior to mixing as then it does not heat up the fresh herbs.
