Salatet Tabbouleh

Salatet Tabbouleh is a refreshing Lebanese salad that bursts with flavor from fresh herbs, vegetables, and a hint of lemon. This Paleo adaptation replaces traditional bulgur with cauliflower for a light and nutritious twist.

Ingredients

• Cauliflower - 200 grams, riced
• Fresh parsley - 1 cup, finely chopped
• Fresh mint - 1/4 cup, finely chopped
• Tomato - 1 medium, diced
• Cucumber - 1 small, diced
• Green onion - 2, finely sliced
• Lemon juice - 2 tablespoons
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon

Steps

1. Begin by ricing the cauliflower using a food processor or grater until it resembles the texture of couscous.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the riced cauliflower, chopped parsley, mint, diced tomato, cucumber, and green onion.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
4. Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and toss gently until everything is well combined.
5. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
