Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cauliflower rice
- 2 cups (chopped) Fresh parsley
- 0.5 cup (chopped) Fresh mint
- 1 medium (diced) Cucumber
- 2 medium (diced) Tomatoes
- 3 stalks (sliced) Green onions
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice. If using a fresh cauliflower head, chop it into florets and pulse in a food processor until it reaches a rice-like consistency.
In a large skillet over medium heat, lightly sauté the cauliflower rice for 3-5 minutes, just until it softens slightly. Remove from heat and let it cool completely.
While the cauliflower rice cools, finely chop the parsley and mint leaves, dice the cucumber and tomatoes, and slice the green onions. Set these ingredients aside.
In a large bowl, combine the cooled cauliflower rice, chopped parsley, mint, cucumber, tomatoes, and green onions.
In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the tabbouli mixture and toss well to ensure everything is evenly coated.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled and enjoy this low-carb, refreshing tabbouli as a healthy side or a light meal.
