Finally, it’s 2021! I really wanted to be excited about this year as much as everybody else but the pandemic seems never-ending and I'm feeling a tad hopeless. I know I'm not alone. I think it’s time for a detox. Both personally (physically) and metaphorically speaking. We need to rid the world of toxic, oh so badly! And for some of us, that means turning off the TV, turning off social media, and just saying no to drama. Nobody should guilt you into watching or listening to anything, no matter what it is, if it’s too much for you, let it go. Turn it off!

 

 

 

 

So in honor of a detox, I’m sharing with you one of my favorite cleansing recipes from the archives. Side note: turn off your TV if you need to. Turn off your social media. Nobody should guilt you into watching or listening to anything, no matter what it is, if it’s too much for you, let it go. Turn it off!

 

 

 

 

Grain Free Tabbouleh Salad Variations

This recipe makes a wonderful lunch or healthy dinner. Add some uncooked tofu or other "protein" but you truly don’t need it. You will feel healthy and clean from the inside out after you eat this grain-free Tabbouleh.

If you want to keep the dish gluten-free but would rather have it nut-free, you can sub the almonds for quinoa.
