Gluten Free Diary Free Nut Free Egg Free Low Carb Vegan Vegetarian Paleo Keto

A refreshing keto tabbouleh salad using hemp hearts for a simple and colourful salad that bursts with flavour.

Using hemp seeds on a keto vegetarian diet is usually sprinkling them over a standard salad. This hemp seed salad uses them in place of bulgar wheat for the classic Lebanese salad dish.

How to make keto tabbouleh

The key to any salad is the freshest ingredients you can purchase. This salad is full of fresh herbs that are enhanced by the lemon and cucumber. It's so refreshing.

The ingredients used in this recipe are:

Hemp Seed Hearts - A great low carb replacement for bulgar wheat
Cucumber - Ensure they are ripe and fresh.
Cherry Tomatoes - Bite sized tomatoes for colour.
Fresh Mint - an essential herb for the flavour and also aids digestion
Fresh Parsley - use flat leaf parsley for a milder flavour
Red Onion - Finely chop this for a small bite in every forkful
Garlic - I only used one clove but if you are a garlic lover, increase the quantity.

What to serve with this keto salad?

If you are enjoying a keto Middle Eastern meal or meze, this keto tabbouleh salad is a must. Serve with keto pita bread, a low carb hummus and keto falafels.

Recipe Tips

If you don't have hemp seed hearts, cauliflower rice makes an excellent replacement.

Although I prefer to serve this immediately, if you store it in the fridge for a couple of hours the flavours will develop.
