Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Cauliflower
- 1 cup Fresh parsley
- 0.5 cup Fresh mint leaves
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 0.25 cup Red onion
- 0.25 cup Lemon juice
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 clove Garlic
Instructions
Begin by trimming and washing the cauliflower. Remove the leaves and cut the cauliflower into florets.
In a food processor, pulse the cauliflower florets until they reach a rice-like consistency. This will serve as a low-carb substitute for the traditional bulgur wheat used in tabouli.
Transfer the 'riced' cauliflower to a microwave-safe bowl and cover with a lid or plastic wrap. Microwave on high for about 3-5 minutes, until just tender. Alternatively, you can steam the cauliflower on the stove. Allow to cool completely.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and mint leaves. Aim for a very fine chop to evenly distribute the flavors.
Dice the cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and red onion into small, uniform pieces to match the texture of the cauliflower.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled cauliflower rice, chopped parsley, mint, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and red onion.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and minced garlic clove.
Pour the dressing over the cauliflower tabouli and toss to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
Allow the tabouli to sit for at least 15 minutes before serving, which lets the flavors meld together beautifully.
Serve chilled or at room temperature as a delicious keto-friendly side dish.
