This vibrant quinoa tabbouleh is a refreshing, protein-rich twist on the classic Levantine salad. By swapping traditional bulgur wheat for fluffy quinoa, the dish becomes naturally gluten-free while retaining its signature zesty character. Each bite is packed with handfuls of fresh flat-leaf parsley and mint, which provide a cooling contrast to the juicy cherry tomatoes and crisp cucumber. It is a fantastic option for a light summer lunch or a colourful side dish for a weekend barbecue.
As a versatile vegan recipe, this salad is excellent for meal preparation as the flavours often improve after a few hours in the fridge. The lemon and garlic dressing adds a bright, punchy finish that ties the earthy grains and garden-fresh vegetables together beautifully. Serve it alongside grilled vegetables, hummus or toasted pitta bread for a wholesome, plant-based feast that feels both nourishing and indulgent.

Ingredients for Quinoa Tabbouleh
150g quinoa, rinsed well
1/2 teaspoons kosher salt plus more
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 garlic clove, minced
120ml extra-virgin olive oil
Freshly ground black pepper

How to make Quinoa Tabbouleh
Bring quinoa, 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 300ml water to a boil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
Meanwhile, whisk lemon juice and garlic in a small bowl. Gradually whisk in olive oil. Season dressing to taste with salt and pepper.
Spread out quinoa on a large rimmed baking sheet; let cool. Transfer to a large bowl; mix in 60ml dressing. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover remaining dressing and quinoa separately; chill.
Add cucumber, tomatoes, herbs, and spring onions to bowl with quinoa; toss to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Drizzle remaining dressing over.
