Tabbouleh is a middle eastern classic! It’s perfect as a side dish or as a main dish. In this recipe instead of bulgur, I used red quinoa since it’s packed with protein and gluten-free.

To give it a little sweet flavor and crunch, I also added pomegranate seeds. This red quinoa salad is a mega concoction of vitamins and minerals. Mint is great for digestion, nausea, and respiratory disorders. Pomegranates have anti-cancerous properties and may help prevent heart disease. Along with parsley and tomatoes, this salad is perfect to give your body the nutrients and vitamins it needs! Since it’s also easy packable, you can also make this red quinoa tabbouleh in advance and take it with you to work.
