An amazing Salad from Lebanon and Syria that's very healthy and delicious as well. Who can deny the subtle flavours of this amazing Salad that's made with lots of Mint and Parsley. Wholesome goodness of Cracked Wheat at its best. It's a traditional, healthy and a Vegan Mediterranean appetizer made with simple ingredients. It's best served chilled alongside Falafel and Hummus. The name Tabbouleh comes from an Arabic word 'taabil' which means to season. Edible herbs known as qadb formed an essential part of Arabic diet in the Middle ages. Dishes like Tabbouleh affirm their continued popularity in the Middle Eastern cuisine till date. It can also be pronounced as Tabouleh or Tabouli. It's packed with Fiber, complex Carbohydrates and healthy Fats. All in all a great immunity booster Salad that can be enjoyed by all.

In this particular version of an excellent twist, I have used White Quinoa for a change. The rest of the recipe remains as authentic as the original. And I have used it as a healthy Brunch idea on a Sunday forenoon for my family. It was a complete meal. Olive Oil can be added according to one's own choice. It does gives this Salad a lovely flavour. The more it is added, the more flavourful the Salad would be. Though it's a no cook recipe for the original version, this one with Quinoa needs a little bit of cooking. The time depends on the amount of it used. That's it. Let's get started.

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
