Quick Avocado Quinoa Tabbouleh Salad

If you’re also a believer that everything is better with avocado… this is Quick Avocado Quinoa Tabbouleh Salad is going to be your new favorite salad. Filled with all the traditional flavors, quinoa and avocado revamps the classic Levantine salad that we all know and love. 

Jump to Recipe

Traditionally, Tabbouleh is a vegetarian Levantine salad made with bulgur, and is typically served mezze style. If you know me at all, you know that Middle Eastern flavors have my heart, especially Tabbouleh. I used to get it on the side of Chicken Shawarma all the time when I ordered dinner. But, in all honesty, I really never loved the bulgur. It’s quite a coarse grain, and often gets stuck in my teeth. Quinoa is far superior in my opinion. So, I knew I just had to make my own version. 

my version:

For me, the ideal tabbouleh consisted of quinoa (duh), all the parsley (traditional), a revamped dressing (instead of just lemon juice), and of course avocado (because avocado cures all the world’s problems, right?!). I also opted for cherry tomatoes instead of the traditional roma, mostly because that’s what I usually have on hand. Also, when quartered, they are much sturdier than the typical tomato, and result in a less mushy salad. In the end, my Quick Avocado Quinoa Tabbouleh Salad was born, and I can’t eat Tabbouleh any other way!


This Quick Avocado Quinoa Tabbouleh Salad is the best of both worlds. It makes an amazing side salad to my Greek Chicken Burgers, Chicken Souvlaki Skewers, or my Lemon Parsley Steamed Salmon. It also makes for a wonderful, hearty main course. The salad can be left vegetarian or topped with a protein of choice (think chicken, shrimp, salmon, or lamb). Personally, I think this Quick Avocado Quinoa Tabbouleh Salad is amazing for meal prep. Simply toss all of the ingredients and make the dressing, then combine before you eat. Such a healthy and tasty to-go lunch!
