Gluten Free, Cow’s Dairy Free, Fructose Free, Diabetic Friendly, Paleo friendly, Low Carb
Quinoa makes a delicious gluten free alternative to the traditional cracked wheat in tabouli. Not only is it gluten free but it is also higher in plant protein AND being a seed, makes this recipe grain free – great for keeping the gut happy and the hips and thighs down. Enjoy this salad as a side with any animal protein such as fish, chicken or meat or as vegetarian option during week one of the EYH program and make a little extra for keeping on hand in the fridge to eat when you are short on cooking time.

- 1/12 cups cooked quinoa
- 1 bunch shallots, finely chopped
