gluten-free tabbouleh

Want a fresh, delicious gluten-free tabbouleh salad, but short on time? Try this easy take on a traditional Middle Eastern salad. Tabbouleh is a bright, easy-to-toss-together salad of chopped vegetables and quinoa. The best part? You can adjust the recipe depending on what’s fresh in the market, and tweak it to your specific tastes and diet. Second-best part: If you can boil (or microwave) water and use a knife, you can make this recipe, fast.

Most Tabbouleh salads have a base of cucumber, tomato, parsley and mint, but I call this farmers market salad because you can embellish it with what’s in season. For example, use fresh watercress or tender baby kale to complement the parsley and mint. Add fresh orange or yellow peppers to add color and crunch. And in late summer months, take advantage of all the different varieties of tomatoes fresh from the farm.

If you’re craving gluten-free tabbouleh in the winter months when good tomatoes are scarce, you can pump up the flavor by adding sun-dried tomatoes or oven-roasted plum tomatoes.

Don’t worry too much about the amounts listed in the recipe. In general, the ratio should be 1 part quinoa to 2 parts vegetables. Experiment and have fun!

A large serving of this salad can easily be a low-calorie meal in itself (but it is delicious paired with grilled salmon).

Farmer’s Market Fast and Easy Gluten-Free Tabbouleh Salad

Description

Tabouleh salad is a bright, easy salad of chopped vegetables and Quinoa.


Ingredients

Scale

3 cups cooked Quinoa (Traditional Tabbouleh uses 1 cup uncooked bulgar wheat)

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

1 large diced tomato (or one container multi-color cherry tomatoes)

1/2 diced red onion (blanched or pickled if you want to reduce the bite)

1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint

1/2 medium English cucumber medium dice

1/2 cup crumpled Feta cheese,

divided 1/2 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and chopped, or to taste

1/4 cup toasted pine nuts

Salt and pepper to taste


Instructions

Cook quinoa al dente according to directions. Stir in the lemon juice and olive oil and fluff with a fork. Add a pinch of salt and a hearty grind or two of pepper. In a large serving bowl, combine the vegetables, olives and half the Feta cheese. Stir in the bulgur mixture. Top with the remaining feta and sprinkle with pine nuts and a parsley sprig or two. Taste and adjust the seasoning. You might want to add a squeeze of lemon for extra acidity, or a splash of olive oil if the salad seems dry. Serves 4.

Notes

If you are watching your salt intake, you can reduce the amount of olives and Feta, or put these toppings on the side instead of mixing them in.
