Quinoa Tabbouleh Salad by Jamie Oliver

Hello my lovelies!!

During summertime, we are always looking for new salad recipes, but when I say salad I mean fun ones, super good ones, salads with a little “wow effect” ! And this is why I say “stop right there, just taste this one!!”… Quinoa tabbouleh salad by Jamie Oliver!!!

First of all, Jamie Oliver is just a huge culinary crush for me. All the recipes I tested from his blog are amazing!! And I just love his style, his philosophy through cooking. What can I say, this guy is an example to follow for me. And cherry on the cake, his blog helps me with some recipe translation issues I have from time to time when I’m stuck on a word!! 😉

Then there is quinoa. I had this plant on my table for the first time not so long ago actually. And I love it since then. I already introduced my zesty quinoa salad which is really amazing, lots of flavors and taste!! With this recipe, you’ll have the same feeling, I promise!!

Of course, you know me, I made a few adjustments from the original recipe…

First, the recipe includes toasted pistachios. I hadn’t pistachios at home. Shame on me… I’ll just have to cook the recipe again, but with pistachios this time… And I had a little piece of cucumber looking at me and begging to be used… I couldn’t resist… And I added fresh coriander because it is so good!!

Are you ready to have a taste and color explosion on your table?

The recipe, Chef!

    Recette essayée hier. Top! J’avais fait le mélange la veille, avec le mélange 3 quinoa et ai ajouté la sauce au dernier moment. Délicieux et original. À refaire sans hesiter

    Recette divine !!! Très fraîche, cette recette est parfaite pour les journées d’été. La Grenade et les pistaches apportent un petit croquant et des saveurs “d’ailleurs”. Ce taboulé est une explosions de saveurs pour les papilles, et un plaisir pour les yeux avec toutes ces couleurs !!! À refaire sans hésiter !

    Fait aussi comme dit ailleurs sur la toile! 😉
    Je recommande une vinaigrette en version sucré/salé : miel, sauce soja/balsamique/citron/huile de sésame.
    Super idée en tout cas, merciiiiiiii!
