This fresh and tangy keto cauliflower tabbouleh will be your new favorite go-to salad! 

Keto Tabbouleh

Traditional tabbouleh is a fresh, vegetarian salad made with fine-ground bulgur or cracked wheat, fresh parsley, tomato, onions, mint, oil and lemon juice. Creating a keto tabbouleh is a simple swap for the bulgur for rice cauliflower which is the perfect consistency and texture of that of the bulgur. It’s a simple but elegant salad to be served on its own or with a grilled steak, chicken or fish. 

How to Make Riced Cauliflower

Back before riced cauliflower was available as a fresh or frozen option in the market, I was making it on my own using my Cuisinart food processor. You can also grate raw cauliflower with a cheese grater. Sure it takes a bit more time, but it is less expensive. Today you can find fresh, raw cauliflower already riced for you at Trader Joe’s and Walmart sells a frozen, pre-cooke riced cauliflower. Either way, riced cauliflower is fantastic for so many recipes where you want to replace rice. Use it for my Antipasto Rice Salad or in my cookbook Naturally Keto I’ve got a Cilantro Cauliflower rice that is fabulous side for all your Mexican recipes.  To make it at home, use either tool I mentioned and just grate the florets, discard the stems. Toss in this recipe raw without cooking. If you want it softer or more tender simply saute it in olive oil in a pan until tender, about 5 minutes. 

I use cauliflower for many of my keto recipes. 2019’s number one recipe of the year was my Keto Cauliflower Pizza! If you haven’t given that recipe a try, you should! Don’t know cauliflower till you try it! I’ve also got a Deep Dish Cauliflower Pizza you might enjoy!
