This Simple and Easy Gluten-free Tabbouleh is the most delicious side salad everrr.

Lemons, herbs, and olive oil are one of my favorite flavors so naturally, I love Tabbouleh!! It is one of my favorite side dishes/salads and adds the perfect amount of freshness to any dish. The refreshing salad originates from Lebanese and Syrian cuisines and is widely eaten across the Middle East and the Mediterranean.

It’s super easy to make so here’s a recipe so you can try it out ☀️
