Tabouli or Tabouleh is a dish of Lebanese origin that is made from parsley, tomatoes, onion, bulgur wheat, olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper. It is fresh, earthy and delicious!
This dish is filled with freshness, full of flavor and traditionally wheat. When I was recreating this I tried to think of what would make a good substitute. Rice was not the right choice and then I thought of Quinoa.
Quinoa, which looks similar to bulgur wheat would be able to stand up to the acid from the lemon, and absorb the flavors of the dish. Plus it made the dish low carb, grain free and the perfect healthy side dish to add to my recipe tin.
