The bright, tangy flavors of Sumo Citrus, both in the zesty dressing and as the star element in the salad, complement the herbaceously fresh curly parsley, the aromatic mint, and the crunch of red bell peppers. The quinoa adds a wholesome, nutty flavor and makes this tabbouleh a satisfying meal or the perfect side dish. Great for a light lunch, picnic, or as a side dish—this invigorating, healthy choice pairs wonderfully with a variety of dishes like our Sumo Citrus Glazed Salmon or Ginger Sumo Citrus Meatballs and is a must-try for anyone looking to add legendary flavor to their meal rotation.
