About

I love tabbouleh. It is always made with cracked wheat, but I wanted to rescue it for our special diet. This is our own gluten-free version of the popular Middle Eastern dish, made with buckwheat, which isn’t wheat at all. When it is a hundred degrees outdoors, this is a delicious first course or even a main with sliced tomatoes and lettuce. When winter comes, I welcome the dish as a side with light foods such as Quinoa-Crusted Chicken,
