Now that the weather is heating up, I’d much rather be outdoors than in the kitchen. My go-to meal options lately are smoothies and salads with all the fixings, one of my favorites being this Tabbouleh Salad. Tabbouleh Salad is usually made using bulger which is a type of cereal grain. I substituted quinoa for the bulger because it’s more nutrient-dense.
This Tabbouleh Salad is hearty enough to serve as a main meal thanks to the protein-packed quinoa and chickpeas. This recipe makes a large portion so it’s great for meal prep and leftovers. It can be served either warm or cold.
