Who is down to try this new spin on the traditional tabbouleh recipe? I promise it's as tangy and delicious.

The traditional tabbouleh recipe is made with couscous, parsley, onion, tomatoes and lemon juice.

I decided to give it an interesting twist and swap the couscous fro garlic quinoa. It is a game changer. You should totally give it try!


Simple ingredientes;

  • garlic quinoa
  • tomatoes
  • parsley
  • white onions
  • lemon juice
  • olive oil
  • salt + pepper


It is great as salad, as a dip, or simply just by itself.


My favorite way to serve it with lemon caper baked salmon, a splash of flavors in every bite. This is is great dinner idea for anytime of the year, specially in the summer. It is very satisfying, healthy and tasty meal.

Here are the ingredients to make this tangy dish:

  • Garlic quinoa
  • white onions
  • parsley
  • tomatoes
  • lemon
  • extra virgin olive oil
  • salt +pepper

Nice and fluffy garlic quinoa.

    What seasonings would you suggest that give the best flavor?

      Hello

      Thanks for stopping by.

      My go to seasonings are salt, pepper, dry órgano and garlic powder. For this recipe I used the blend seasonings by Borsari, that has a mix of salt, pepper, lemon and dry herbs.

      but you can just add garlic and dry spices to elevate the flavors.


      Hope this was helpful.

    This recipe doesn't make sense. First you are supposed to cook 1 cup of quinoa with garlic. Then you are supposed to combine 1 c. of cooked quinoa with other things. What do you do with what's left from the garlic quinoa after you've taken out 1 c.? (It swells when it cooks.)
