A delicious fibre and flavour packed gluten-free tabouli made from quinoa. I serve mine with homemade green falafels (recipe coming soon!), dips like hummus and tzatziki, more leafy greens or grilled veggies and toasted pita bread! You can also add chickpeas or another protein and some carbohydrates to make it into a satisfying and satiating meal of it’s own. I hope you enjoy!
