    Gluten-Free Quinoa Tabbouleh For 2

    0
    By Sarah on February 23, 2017 Gluten-Free Meals Recipes, Lunch

    Tabbouleh is a traditional Middle-Eastern dish made from bulgur wheat. It’s tasty, light, and refreshing and makes for an ideal lunch. However, genuine tabbouleh is also high in gluten. I’ve found this delicious recipe at BBC Good Food blog. This recipe replaces the gluten-laden bulgur with gluten-free quinoa – pronounced keen-waa. Quinoa is not a grain but is, in fact, a seed that you cook like a grain. It’s a complex carbohydrate that’s full of useful nutrients including lots of amino acids. This makes it high in protein – something very few “real” grains can boast. Make quinoa tabbouleh the night before, allow to cool, and then take a pot with you to work or school. Serve with a little tuna and lemon juice for a delicious, healthy lunch.

    Ingredients – serves two:

    • 3 ½ ounces uncooked quinoa
    • 3 ounces parsley, roughly chopped
    • 10 ounces tomatoes, diced
    • 4 ounces cucumber, diced finely
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
    • The juice and zest ½ lemon
    • 1 drop of vanilla extract
    • 1 teaspoon agave syrup
    • 1 pinch of Himalayan pink salt
    • ½ garlic clove, crushed
    • 2 ounces salad leaves, to serve

    Directions: 

    Cook the quinoa following the directions on the packet. Once cooked, set aside and allow to cool.

    To make the dressing, combine the olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, agave syrup, pinch of salt and garlic in a bowl or jug and whisk. Add to the quinoa and mix together with the other ingredients. Serve on a layer of fresh salad leaves.
