Gluten Free Tabouleh Salad

Tabbouleh is a Levantine vegetarian salad made mostly of finely chopped veggies, parsley & bulgur, seasoned with olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Bulgur is a whole grain that contains wheat. I like to substitute this with quinoa to cut out gluten out of the recipe. I love this fun summer salad, its full of colour and nutrition. It is great as a side dish or have it as a main!
