Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Cauliflower
- 1 large bunch Fresh parsley
- 0.5 cup Fresh mint leaves
- 4 stalks Green onions
- 2 medium Fresh tomatoes
- 1 large Cucumber
- 0.25 cup Lemon juice
- 0.25 cup Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Cut the cauliflower into florets and place them in a food processor. Pulse until the cauliflower resembles rice-sized grains. Be careful not to over-process; you want it to have a coarse, rice-like texture.
Transfer the cauliflower rice to a large mixing bowl.
Finely chop the parsley and mint leaves, and add them to the bowl with the cauliflower rice.
Thinly slice the green onions and dice the tomatoes. Peel, seed, and dice the cucumber, and add everything to the bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the dressing over the cauliflower tabouli and gently toss well to combine, ensuring every ingredient is coated with the dressing.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or lemon juice as desired.
Let the tabouli sit for about 10 minutes at room temperature to allow flavors to meld before serving.
Serve as a light starter or a side dish. Enjoy your Paleo Classic Tabouli!
