Tabbouleh traditionally belongs to Levantine kitchens, where parsley, bulgur, lemon and olive oil form its foundation. This Ramadan variation replaces bulgur with quinoa, a protein-rich seed that cooks quickly and absorbs flavour well. The addition of pomegranate arils brings a gentle sweetness and seasonal freshness often appreciated during fasting months. The salad supports hydration through fresh herbs and tomatoes, while lemon and olive oil provide brightness without heaviness. It works beautifully on iftar tables where lighter dishes help restore energy steadily.

Description - Step 1

Step 1: Simmer quinoa

Place rinsed quinoa and water in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover. Let it simmer gently until the water is absorbed and the grains turn translucent with visible spirals. Remove from the heat and allow it to rest, covered, for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork. Spread it slightly to cool completely.
