Fully of bright flavors, this kale tabbouleh is my new salad triumph. Made with just a few simple ingredients, it delivers lots of flavor and textures, and is well… simply GOOD. Super nutritious Tuscan lacinato kale is tossed together with fresh parley and mint, sweet cherry tomatoes, green onion and protein-packed, gluten-free quinoa instead of the traditional bulgur wheat. Ooh, and the dressing… cumin and sumac have made a grand entrance!<\/p>\n\n\n

So kale tabbouleh, who’d have thought?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Well, this isn’t the first time I have given traditional tabbouleh a make over. I am simply in love with its fresh flavors and love to mix things up by adding things like roasted cumin carrots and almonds<\/a>, or loads of herbs and chickpeas<\/a> and even sweet potatoes, feta and pumpkin seeds<\/a>. Yes, I simply can’t leave well enough alone. But what’s a tabbouleh without a little “Elle” factor? So trust when I say, if you are a fan of this Middle Eastern salad, then I am pretty sure you are going to enjoy this wintry version as well. It has all the parsley lemony goodness of the original but the nutrition factor has been dialled up a bit with the addition of kale and quinoa. Kale of course being the star which packs a lot of nutrition and powerful detoxification properties.<\/p>\n\n\n

Where to buy lacinto kale<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For this recipe I use Tuscan lacinato kale, which sadly hasn’t made its way to supermarkets in my neighborhood. I’ve seen it once at REWE and a couple of times at one of my local organic food stores, but generally speaking you need make a trip to your local farmers market. A number of the organic food stands carry it. And if you want to enjoy it for more than just a couple of days, then be sure to store it properly. I always buys lots of it along with regular curly kale and red kale, and store them wrapped in a large lightweight plastic bag (I know plastic! A reusable plastic bag) in the fridge. This keeps it super fresh for a number of days.<\/p>\n\n\n
