Cauliflower Tabouleh

Cauliflower Tabouleh tastes like an authentic tabouleh but it is doesn’t have the carbs of the original recipe. Tomato, parsley, mint, garlic and lemon juice bring a freshness to this dish, that makes it a lovely side dish that will go with many meals.

Serve it with some grilled meat, chicken or fish, along with a low carb wrap such as this Healthy Low Carb Wrap Recipe, and you have a simple to make, great tasting meal. There’s also a lovely tasting Lamb Kofta that goes brilliantly with this recipe.

Cooking Hints

Not being a fan of over cooked cauliflower rice, I prefer to have mine slightly under cooked for this Cauliflower Tabouleh, to add a little more crunch. My preference is to steam the rice in the microwave only for about 1 1/2 minutes. If you prefer to cook your for longer, I would microwave it for up to 3 minutes maximum. An alternative to using the microwave for cooking, is to steam or boil the cauliflower instead. Once again, cook it to your own taste.

Fresh Ingredients

Using fresh herbs in this lovely recipe is why this recipe tastes so brilliant, so use them if you can. If you struggle to find the fresh herbs but have dried herbs on hand, you could use them instead. I would only use a couple of tablespoons of dried herbs though, as they are more concentrated.
