Cauliflower Tabbouleh is a low carb remake of a popular Mediterranean dish. This delicious refreshing salad maintains the tastes of traditional Lebanese tabbouleh by substituting cauliflower walnuts and rice for bulgar. The result is a gluten-free dish full of freshness from parsley, lemon, and mint.
THIS POST INCLUDES AFFILIATE LINKS TO SHARE THE THINGS I LOVE.
Now that warm weather is upon us, the time for light dishes with refreshing, bright flavors is here. Kiss boring salads and side dishes goodbye with this refreshing, bright cauliflower tabbouleh.
Fresh herbs such as parsley, mint and scallions, will alert your taste buds. Crunchy walnuts, crisp, sweet tomatoes and zippy red onions give this salad a fun yet elegant combination of flavors and textures. This cauliflower tabbouleh salad is the perfect summer lunch or an superb accompaniment to a picnic, barbecue, or Mediterranean dinner.
Have you attempted tabbouleh? Tabbouleh is a Lebanese, vegetarian salad traditionally flavored parsley, mint, tomatoes, and onion. It’s dressed with a light mix of olive oil and lemon juice and seasoned with pepper and salt.
Bulgur comes from the parboiled, cracked groats of different kinds of wheat. Couscous, made of flour and water, is much like pasta. Grains and pasta are a problem for those trying to manage blood sugars using a low carb, keto diet.
Luckily, my low carb tabbouleh salad recipe keeps all the classic tastes of tabbouleh but eliminates the bulgur or couscous.
The trick to making tabbouleh with no bulgur or couscous comes down to two key ingredients: cauliflower and chopped raw walnuts.
Walnuts provide the chew and deeper flavor found in bulgur. Walnuts are low in carbs carb and a source of protein and healthful fats while cauliflower provides a tasty and healthy low carb base.
Cauliflower is a powerhouse ingredient for low carb and keto diets. It’s an excellent low carb grain and rice alternative and when mashed, makes a great a potato substitute. It’s now a mainstream fixing and easily found in most grocery stores. Look in the produce section for cauliflower rice and in the frozen food department for frozen. I prefer fresh because frozen cauliflower rice is sometimes mushy.
I make my own cauliflower rice at home with a box grater or a food processor. Food processors have gotten considerably less costly through the years and will help you save money in the future if you intend to use cauliflower frequently as a substitution in of your keto diet.
I recommend having both a larger food processor for making big batches of cauliflower rice or even things like low carb bagels dough and a smaller food processor for the convenience factor for smaller jobs.
I gently steam the cauliflower rice in the microwave or quickly saute in oil on the stovetop. While this is totally optional, I find cooking mellows the taste of the cauliflower.
When the cauliflower rice is ready, remove the stems from the parsley and give it a quick chop. Add it to the food processor with the walnuts and pulse until finely chopped. Then, spoon them in a bowl with the chopped tomato, onion, mint, and cauliflower rice. To finish, dress the tabbouleh with olive oil and lemon juice and sprinkle of pepper and salt.
Drink this Tabbouleh as a light lunch salad as part of a beautiful Mediterranean dinner. You could plan a complete Mediterranean night with a refreshing cucumber salad, baba ganoush, and a meat dish such as this grilled Mediterranean flank steak, shrimp, or chicken kebabs. The sky’s the limit!
Cauliflower Tabbouleh is a low carb remake of a popular Mediterranean dish. This delicious refreshing salad keeps the tastes of traditional Lebanese tabbouleh by substituting cauliflower walnuts and rice for bulgar. The result is a gluten-free dish full of freshness from parsley, lemon, and mint.
Pulse until the cauliflower resembles little crumbles or grains of rice. Alternately, use the large holed grating disk and nourish the cauliflower florets through the tube to grate. If you don’t have a food processor, simply use the large holed side of a box grater.
Gently steam cauliflower rice in the microwave or cook quickly in a pan on the stove to remove the raw taste, but not make it soft. This is optional, but I think that the tabbouleh tastes better. Cool.
Cut the stems from the parsley and give it a rough chop. Add the walnuts and parsley to the food processor and pulse until finely chopped.
Scrape the carrot and cauliflower mixture to a medium bowl and add the tomato, onion, lemon juice and olive oil, stirring to blend. Season with salt and pepper.
Refrigerate any leftovers for up to 5 days. Serve alongside grilled meats or grilled vegetables.
Serves 4 people at 3.7 Net Carbs per serving.

Back in February I spent three weeks at Green Mountain at Fox Run, a “whole-body wellness retreat” in Vermont for women, to work on my binge eating challenges.
I’ve been writing up a storm about my visit over on the Green Mountain’s blog. Here are my articles:
What Our Wellness Retreat is Really Like | Week 1 in Green Mountain
What if I beyond help? What if I take all this time away from my house and my life and nothing changes for me? I knew these anxieties had nothing to do with where I was going and everything to do with my wobbly faith in myself after years of yo-yo dieting.

First printing was in March, 2018.
This is the first in a series of two cookbooks with Peggy Hardaway as the principal author with some terrific recipes from George Stella and I as well. Pretty golden cookbook with matching coil binding. These five colorful cookbooks with their both colorful and substantial pages of recipe photos are fun to own, easy to navigate, fun to read, and I am sure you will love owning them. I know even I’m happy to have them and refer to them frequently. As with all the cookbooks, every recipe that has a photo will have it indicated in the heading alongside the name of the writer whose recipe it is and, in addition, each photograph has the page number indicated on it. With all the cookbooks, I am the one who edits them lovingly puts the cookbooks together. I take my job very seriously and always do my best to create an accurate and superior job! I was taught initially by publishers who printed a few of my cookbooks – among them was printed by the largest publisher in Canada at the time (now taken over by an American company), MacMillan Canada. I soon figured out that I wanted to get into self-publishing. Now, of course, we’re competing with thousands of other low-carb cookbooks out there and it’s increasingly more difficult to earn a living in this field. Our trusted brand does set us apart and we’re proud to have such creative people on the Low-Carbing Among Friends’ team, not the least of which is renowned low-carb chef and TV celebrity, George Stella!
Peggy Hardaway has devoted many years to creating wonderful recipes the low-carb community has enjoyed. You can find her recipes in Buttoni’s Low-Carb Recipes. Peggy, also a teacher by profession, has retired with various other interests that keep her occupied, but she still keeps her hand in and posts new recipes to her blog as she makes them. As well, she participates in Low-carb Forums helping newbies and others. Peggy has her very own style and often makes cultural foods which we might be afraid to tackle, however, she makes them look easy! She also has many of her own homemade spice combinations (many of which mimic commercial varieties), some of which you will discover in this cookbook, with the recipes that you create your own, if you so desire. Peggy knows the art of very flavorful cooking!
When Peggy was working on the team for a few years on Facebook, Peggy and I’d frequently reach millions with our recipes. Peggy and I’d have a friendly rivalry going on with our daily articles and those were fun times that are such. We were very supportive of one another, however, and stood by each other when others tried their best to topple our team or compromise our success. That occurred fairly often and it hurt sometimes, but we picked ourselves up and carried on! It is hard to believe sometimes but it did happen. We were top of the low-carb world on Facebook for 5 plus years and thus we did not make everybody happy since it’s such a competitive business. It was just when we stopped paying Facebook for two years that another woman who was paying Facebook a lot caught up to us in time. Lovely woman and none of us begrudge her success. We pay a little bit these days but the majority of our enjoys which with our two combined pages is over 1.1 million were from the good old days – mostly organic enjoys – save for around 10,000 likes which were paid enjoys (well, not entirely – our organic enjoys finally given to us). Even although we cover Facebook a bit these days, we still only get a portion of our organic enjoys added. One must pay lot to get all of them. I miss the good old days, but nothing stays the same forever and one day I will retire and, thus, I put things in perspective. Life is not all about social media! However, that said we’re still the top low-carb group on Facebook and this weekend when my husband adds up the numbers, it is going to be very obvious that we are as a team number one on Facebook.

I was vegan until I wasn’t anymore. And, even thought it’s been YEARS since I labeled myself as being vegan, I still very much associate myself as being more plant-based than most other people.
When keto was newly on the scene, a great deal of people assumed it was meat + animal fat. But, there’s a good deal more to keto than meats the eye (haha see what I did there?) .
You may flourish on a plant-based approach to your eating style, and even though some keto”specialists” would advise against it, I think you are the best judge of how your system thrives, not a stranger on the internet. Should you choose to be a keto vegan, a keto vegetarian, or keto pescatarian, it’s completely doable.
Especially once you have the ideal plant-based keto recipes in your toolbox!
And, if it’s support you need, know that you are not alone in your interest in eating crops, and being keto. People do so, physicians do this, you’ve got this!
Just cause this is a plant-based recipe doesn’t mean you have to BE plant-based so as to enjoy it.
If you liked hummus before you went keto, and you’re in need of a keto spread that goes fabulously with veggies, look no further than this keto hummus!
It can be produced with either peeled almonds or macadamia nuts, is the perfect consistency, and uses ingredients which are pretty darn easy to access, no matter where you are in the world.
Let’s get to eating!
