Quinoa Tabbouleh is the perfect salad to take to a Teacher Appreciation luncheon.

Quinoa Tabbouleh Salad is a delicious salad I am sharing as part of a fun collection of Gifts for Teacher Appreciation Week from a group of my favorite bloggers.  We also have a fun giveaway!  (Giveaway details are at the end)

Quinoa Tabbouleh is the perfect potluck salad to make for Teacher Appreciation Week because it is delicious and it doesn’t wilt.

Quinoa Tabbouleh

When my kids were in school my favorite volunteer job was being in charge of teacher appreciation.  Every year we did a special luncheon for the teachers to let them know how much we loved them.  We usually did a potluck of delicious salads and other treats.  Taking a salad to a potluck can be a bit tricky as you need something that can sit out for a while and that will hold up and not turn into a mushy, wilted mess.  Nothing worse than a wilted salad!!

Quinoa Tabbouleh

Today’s recipe for Quinoa Tabbouleh is the perfect solution.  It’s delicious and it doesn’t wilt.  It can sit out at a potluck for several hours and still taste just as great at the end as it did at the beginning.

Tabbouleh is a traditional Mediterranean dish that is usually made with bulgur. We are big quinoa fans at our house so I decided to make it with quinoa instead but feel free to use bulgur if you prefer.

It is also traditionally made with parsley and mint and I took another creative license and used basil instead.  I’m not a big fan of mint in my salad.  I love the flavor of the fresh basil!

With fresh tomatoes and cucumbers this salad has lots of great texture and flavor and is the perfect way to show those teacher’s how much you appreciate them. (scroll down for recipe)
