While tabbouleh is most commonly made with bulgur wheat, you can make a gluten-free version using quinoa or another cooked gluten-free grain. This pomegranate-studded version is incredibly satisfying as a light lunch or a side dish served with other Middle Eastern favorites such as falafel and hummus. The aromatic combination of parsley and scallions pair well with cooling cucumber and juicy cherry tomatoes so each bite is bursting with refreshing flavor. A simple dressing of lemon juice, salt, and pepper tie everything together to create a delicious dish you won’t want to put down.

(5 from 3 votes)Looks really delicious but I get tire quickly of parsley. Think I'll try with kale.
Is one cup of scallions a misprint? That sounds overpowering.
