Tabbouleh is a classic dish from the Middle East, made with bulgur wheat, parsley, mint, tomatoes, onions, and a zesty lemon dressing.

This recipe is a great vegetarian substitution for the classic tabbouleh, with all the same fresh and fragrant herbs, juicy tomatoes, and tangy lemon dressing, but with a base of cauliflower rice instead of bulgur wheat.

So, let’s get cooking and enjoy the delicious flavors of Israel with a healthy and nutritious twist!

Head of cauliflower 1

Fresh parsley, chopped 1/2 Cup

Fresh mint leaves, chopped 1/4 Cup

Fresh cilantro, chopped 1/4 Cup

Red onion, finely chopped 1/4 Cup

Cherry tomatoes, halved 1/2 Cup

Lemon juice 1/4 Cup

Instructions

Step 1

Begin by washing and drying your cauliflower head. Remove the stems and leaves, then cut the cauliflower into small florets.

Step 2

Place the cauliflower florets into a food processor and pulse until they reach a rice-like consistency. If you don't have a food processor, you can also use a cheese grater.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower rice with the chopped parsley, mint, cilantro, red onion, and tomatoes.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper until well combined.

Step 5

Pour the dressing over the cauliflower rice mixture and stir to coat evenly. Taste and adjust seasonings as necessary, then serve and enjoy!
