The standard Tabbouleh is quite a clean salad with good oils and a fresh lemony dressing, but with the bulgar wheat, it’s not something I can enjoy. Thankfully I solved this problem with my paleo and gluten-free taboulleh recipe!

For my friends that are on a grain-free and dairy-free diet, this salad is just for you. It’s fresh and clean and a great accompaniment to beef or fish, or any protein really. It’s light and won’t leave you feeling bloated afterwards. Plus it’s really not that difficult to make. You could even double up and make a large batch to last you throughout the week. Meal prep is the best!
