Keto Tabbouleh with Cauliflower

Keto Tabbouleh with Cauliflower is a refreshing twist on the traditional Lebanese dish, substituting bulgur with finely grated cauliflower for a low-carb option. Bursting with fresh herbs and zesty lemon, this dish is perfect for a light lunch or side.

Ingredients

• Cauliflower - 200 grams
• Fresh parsley - 50 grams, finely chopped

Steps

1. Remove the leaves and stem from the cauliflower and cut it into florets.

3. Transfer the riced cauliflower to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 3-4 minutes until slightly soft. Let it cool.
