Keto Tabouli Salad

Keto Tabouli Salad is a refreshing twist on the traditional Lebanese dish, replacing bulgur wheat with nutrient-dense cauliflower rice. This vibrant salad is packed with fresh herbs, crunchy vegetables, and a zesty lemon dressing, making it a perfect low-carb lunch option.

Ingredients

• Cauliflower - 200 grams (1 small head, riced)
• Fresh parsley - 50 grams (1 cup, finely chopped)
• Fresh mint - 15 grams (1/2 cup, finely chopped)
• Tomato - 100 grams (1 medium, diced)
• Cucumber - 100 grams (1 small, diced)
• Red onion - 30 grams (1/4 small, finely chopped)
• Olive oil - 30 ml (2 tablespoons)
• Lemon juice - 15 ml (1 tablespoon)
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon

Steps

1. Begin by ricing the cauliflower. Cut the cauliflower into florets and pulse in a food processor until it resembles rice grains.
2. Transfer the riced cauliflower to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 3-4 minutes until tender. Let it cool.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled riced cauliflower, chopped parsley, mint, diced tomato, cucumber, and red onion.
4. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
5. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine all ingredients evenly.
6. Serve immediately or refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
