A tangy dressing made from freshly squeezed lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, and minced garlic ties the flavors together beautifully. With only 20 minutes of prep time and no cooking required, this easy recipe is ideal for meal prep, picnics, or a healthy side dish. Whether served chilled or straight from the bowl, Whole30 Tabbouli is a guilt-free crowd-pleaser that showcases vibrant flavors and wholesome ingredients.
Prepare the cauliflower rice: If using homemade, pulse small cauliflower florets in a food processor until they reach a rice-like consistency. Then measure out 3 cups.
Wash and finely chop the parsley and mint. Set aside.
Dice the cucumber and tomatoes into small, uniform pieces. Thinly slice the green onions. Combine vegetables in a large mixing bowl.
Add the cauliflower rice to the vegetable mixture and stir to combine.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the cauliflower rice and vegetable mixture. Toss well to coat everything evenly.
Taste and adjust seasonings if needed. Add more lemon juice or salt to taste.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors meld, or serve immediately.
Garnish with additional parsley or mint if desired, and enjoy!
