cauliflower tabbouleh

I tried a cauliflower tabbouleh from Whole Foods and it was so good that I just had to try making my own! All you need is a head of cauliflower, onion, tomato, parsley, mint, and a handful of pantry staples. It’s not hard at all!

To make this recipe even easier, you can use pre-made cauliflower rice. It’s often sold in the produce section near the pre-packaged vegetables.

  5. Add in your mint, parsley, salt and pepper.

 

I’m sorry I didn’t take a prettier picture. I kept meaning to get out my “real” camera, but then I’d get so distracted by eating…
