When it comes to eating on the run I find that the hard part is coming up with something that packs well and is nutrient dense enough to make me feel satisfied. I don’t know about you, but sometimes a leafy salad can get a little boring too. For me this recipe for Quinoa Tabbouleh fits the bill. Lots of fresh parsley gets me the greens without too much leaf, there is crunch from walnuts and red onions, and quinoa is a nutritional powerhouse that fills my belly and my heart with love.
I also love how this salad can hold its own in my tennis bag until lunchtime. I can make a good sized batch of this and portion it into containers that I can grab and go as needed. It’s so good about not getting sad, limp or soggy. You just have to remember to check the mirror for bits in your teeth. Could be worse…. let’s not mention chia seeds right now…
To be clear, and not to upset my Middle Eastern friends- this is by no means a traditional tabbouleh- so no comments please- just enjoy the good tasting food and roll with me, K?
Get yourself a big bowl. Toss all the ingredients in and give it a good stir. Eat and enjoy. Now wasn't that easy?
