Kale Tabbouleh with Quinoa image

I got this recipe from a good friend. I absolutely love it. It is a refreshing and surprisingly healthy salad. You can have it as a side dish, or, for a heartier meal, throw some grilled chicken on it and enjoy! The salad can be eaten right away or kept in the fridge for up to three days. If you make it in advance, toss the salad again before serving to redistribute the juices.

Time 30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

½ cup water
¼ cup quinoa
1 bunch curly leaf parsley
½ bunch curly leaf kale
1 pint grape tomatoes, halved
½ English cucumber, diced
1 shallot, minced
¼ cup fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, or more to taste
salt to taste

Steps:

  • Bring water and quinoa to a boil in a small saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender and water has been absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Starting at the leafy top, cut parsley and kale perpendicular to the stems in 1/2- or 1/4-inch cuts until you reach the point where there's nothing left but stems. Discard stems. Chop the pile of greens on your board with a knife or cleaver until the pieces of parsley and kale are no larger than 1/4 inch. It should be pretty fine, but you don't want it to turn into a paste. Transfer parsley and kale to a large mixing bowl. Toss quinoa, grape tomatoes, cucumber, and shallot with the parsley and kale.
  • Whisk lemon juice, olive oil, and salt together in a small bowl; drizzle over the salad and toss to coat.

I'm not a huge fan of kale, but this recipe changed my mind. The kale is perfectly balanced by the other ingredients in the tabbouleh.

This kale tabbouleh is a great make-ahead dish. I like to make it the night before I need it so that the flavors have time to meld.

I added some chopped cucumber and red onion to my tabbouleh, and it was even more delicious.

The dressing in this recipe is perfect. It's tangy and flavorful, without being too overpowering.

I love that this recipe uses quinoa instead of bulgur. It gives the tabbouleh a lighter, fluffier texture.
