Low carb and grain-free cauliflower tabbouleh. It’s fresh, flavorful and perfect for picnics and parties.

I’ve made traditional tabbouleh with bulgur wheat before. I’ve also made a quinoa tabbouleh that’s quite delicious, but I think the cauliflower version is my absolute favorite. It’s light, flavorful and packed with fresh veggies — perfect for serving during the spring and summer months.

You can eat it on it’s own for a light meal. Although, I’d probably add some chickpeas or black beans for a little more sustenance if I was going to do that. If you want to go the more traditional route you can serve it with pita, hummus and falafel. Yum.

Oh man, that reminds me that it’s been way too long since I’ve had falafel. That needs to be remedied soon — perhaps with this easy baked falafel…

I brought this dish to a little get-together last weekend and everyone really liked it. So yeah, it’s party tested as well! Just bring along some pita bread or pita chips for dipping if it’s more of a finger food event. 🙂

2. Place the cauliflower in food processor (affiliate link) and pulse until the cauliflower pieces turn into cauliflower rice. You may have to do this in batches, depending on how large your processor is. Remove cauliflower rice from the processor and place in a large bowl.
3. Add parsley, mint, green onion and garlic into food processor (affiliate link) to chop more finely, if desired.
4. Add parsley, mint, green onion and garlic into the bowl with the cauliflower rice. Add the remaining ingredients and toss to mix. Taste and add more salt or pepper if necessary.
