A fresh, low-carb version of traditional tabbouleh made with cauliflower instead of bulgur. Loaded with herbs, lemon, cucumber, and tomato, this keto-friendly salad is light, zesty, and easy to prep in under 30 minutes.
1 medium cauliflower head, chopped into florets
1 large bunch flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
10–15 fresh mint leaves, chopped
2 Roma tomatoes, deseeded and diced
1 cucumber (Persian or English), diced
1 small shallot or ¼ red onion, minced
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
½ tsp sea salt (adjust to taste)
¼ tsp black pepper
Optional: ¼ cup crumbled feta, olives, or tahini
Cut cauliflower into florets and pulse in a food processor until it looks like couscous.
Place cauliflower rice in a large bowl.
Finely chop parsley, mint, tomatoes (deseeded), cucumber, and shallot. Add to the bowl.
Add lemon zest, juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
Taste and adjust salt or lemon.
Chill for 20+ minutes before serving for best flavor.
Optional: Add feta, olives, or tahini on top before serving.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3–4 days.
Keep dressing separate until ready to eat for max freshness.
Great as a side, salad base, or stuffed into lettuce wraps.
