Tabbouleh with Quinoa
Tabbouleh is a very simple, yet delicious and super healthy salad. It is a stamp of the Lebanese cuisine and have been replicated in many other Middle Eastern countries.
Parsley is a miraculous plant, with amazing health benefits. First and foremost it is diuretic and anti-inflammatory, which make it a superfood if you are on a diet. Whether you drink parsley tea or an infusion, or you add a little parsley on your morning smoothie you will benefit from it.
It is a natural remedy for UTI and is said to help fight kidney stones. It also has anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties. Is packed with antioxidants which fight free radical damage. Helps with digestions and even combats bad breath if you chew it.
The traditional recipe is made with fine bulgur, but I had quinoa in the fridge and it goes very well. Also, using quinoa makes the dish gluten free and to be honest I liked it better.
