Quinoa Tabouli

Quinoa Tabouli

Need a recipe for a summer BBQ or potluck? I’ve got you covered.

Give your friends (and yourself) a healthy option, and give yourself a break with this easy recipe. Parsley is known for helping you detox heavy metals and also helps to freshen breath (along with that mint that’s perfect for summer). The quinoa is a great source of plant-based protein and all of the fresh veggies will leave you feeling light but satisfied.

This is also a great meal to make and eat for lunch throughout the week. If you wanted to make it more filling, you could add some chickpeas (you may want to add a bit more dressing/seasoning if adding extra veggies).
