Quinoa Tabbouleh
September 13th, 2011
I’ll be the first to admit that I don’t have the best eating habits. I rarely remember to eat vegetables and find most health food to be bland and boring. I used to feel the same way about quinoa, but have since changed my stance on it, when prepared properly. I made this recipe, and it’s the ideal side dish. It’s bright and full of flavor, with lemon juice, cucumbers, and tomatoes, and feels far from health food.
looks great! never made anything with quinoa

Hello There Emily…
I have been following you blog since day one. This is the first time I have ever left a comment though and it’s because I saw the word quinoa. I’m an alternative foodie/chef and can’t help but get excited when I see someone using alternative ingredients. Thank you for including such a healthy recipe. Be Well, –Amber
I’m somewhat a really healthy eater but this is the first I’ve seen of the Quinoa Tabbouleh. This is definitely a unique recipe. It would be interesting to try!

Hi, this looks delicious! As I love Tabbouleh and make it often, I’m just a little confused – in the pictures it looks like you used fresh mint, not italian parsley? In the original recipe one uses both, but the word Tabbouleh itself means “italian parsley salad”, so I just wanted to know
Love me some quinoa! I’ll have to give this one a whirl.
Have a great tuesday!

This looks SO, SO good!
Is it bad/repulsive/wrong that I’m fighting the urge to lick my laptop screen right now…? ;0)

Wow that looks amazing! Everything you make looks delicious!!
There’s a lovely little hole-in-the wall restaurant in Madison, WI that makes a summer quinoa and black bean salad that is to DIE for. It’s just quinoa, black beans, corn, green onion, and cilantro in a lime dressing served over romaine. The closest replica of the dressing that I’ve found is here: http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Quinoa-and-Black-Bean-Salad-12245
Wow, that looks delicious!!

israeli cous cous is actually good and fun to eat. but still i find most of these middle eastern grains to be a little bland.
That actually looks yummy!

I LOVE quinoa, it’s such a unique and light seed to eat. And healthy! As long as you have the right spices in the right amounts, healthy food is always good

Thanks for the recipe! My newest resolution was to try to eat more grain and then I saw your blog post — so no excuse!!
More recipes please!

I had never heard of quinoa until I moved to North America. I have been wanting to make it myself, but didn’t find the right recipe. I think I found it now!

I love quinoa so much and helped me lost all the weight after 3 babies! I like it red with chopped mangoes, almonds, pistachio, cucumber, chives, olive oil, lemon juice salt and pepper ( you can add tumeric too) so rich and wholesome! Once I tried with Carter & Cavero meyer lemon olive oil was so so good I ate the whole thing in one day!
I’ve had a hard time with quinoa too, but find recipes that are packed with lemon and herbs (like the one you noted), make all the difference. I love how roughly you chopped the herbs0 gorgeous!
I should try this since I have a Costco sized bag of quinoa I need to use! I also really like this recipe from Bon Appetit (it’s kind of my go-to)

I will definitely try this recipe! Love the vibrant pics you take – although it makes me hungry! I just made a vetegetarian chilli with a ton of indian spices. I froze the leftovers in mini pyrex containers! Healthy, yummy & convenient! Win/Win
This looks refreshing and delicious!

It’s look yummy!
you just gave me my dinner recipe for this evening. thanks m’dear!
I just stumbled across this & really want to try the recipe! The link above does not work anymore, does anyone have the recipe or know where it can be found online? Thanks!
I made this recipe when you first posted it and I loved it! Sadly, the link is no longer available, but I found this recipe instead. It’s very similar, although, the original recipe yielded a salad that was smaller by about half, and it called for a lot more parsley/mint (more than double!), proportionally. http://www.canada.com/Tasty+quinoa+adds+healthy+boost+salad/5408679/story.html
This looks amazing! I’d love t make it, but the website took the recipe down. Is there any way I can get it?
