Result

There you go, your original quinoa tabbouleh is ready 🙂

Easy, fast and cheap !

It’s easy to do, don’t you think?

No need for Thermomix to make this delicious salad!

This recipe is the same as the one with bulgur tabbouleh.

But the quinoa is good lighter and much healthier for the body.

For what ?

Because it contains more protein than most cereals. And in addition, it is very digestible and gluten-free.

Ideal in times of stress, anemia or fatigue, quinoa also contains vitamin E.

It can act on hot flashes and is excellent for maintaining beautiful skin.

If you want to do Lebanese quinoa tabboulehs, it’s easy.

Keep the same recipe. And add two bunches of finely chopped parsley. A delight !

Adapt this recipe to your tastes: without cucumber, with tuna… Vary the pleasures!

It is a light and healthy recipe, perfect as part of a balanced diet.
