Cauliflower Tabbouleh

The is a modern take on the class Middle Eastern tabbouleh made with cauliflower rice instead of bulgur. The gluten-free, low carb Nedi Approved version can be served as a side dish for seafood or meat. It can also be enjoyed on its own as a salad. If you are eating it as a salad, try topping it with grilled chicken or tempeh.

Nedi’s Tip: Cauliflower rice can be made a day or two head and kept refrigerated in a glass container. To save time, purchase pre-made cauliflower rice that is not frozen.
