Cauliflower Tabouli and Salmon Meal Prep

July 13, 2019 by Nick Quintero 3 Comments

Skip to Recipe Print Recipe

We love this bright, fresh, and zesty Cauliflower Tabouli and Salmon meal prep recipe. Not only does this dish look heavenly it tastes heavenly too! You may know of tabouli from Mediterannean restaurants. But tabouli (also spelled "tabbouleh") originated as a traditional Middle Eastern dish, specifically from Lebanon. It dates back to the mid-19th century and is a staple in many Middle Eastern households. 

Tabouli is a cold salad. This cold salad offers a crisp, clean, and minty taste that's perfect for serving on a hot day for lunch or dinner. 

Traditionally, tabouli has couscous or bulgur in it. But we put a creative spin on the recipe by eliminating grains, making it gluten-free, low carb, and Keto friendly. Instead of grains, we use cauliflower. Cauliflower makes for an excellent grain replacement. It is more nutritious and has significantly fewer carbs. Plus, cauliflower is filling. 

With that said, let's dive into the recipe, shall we?

How long will Cauliflower Tabouli last for?

Our Cauliflower Tabouli meal prep recipe yields four servings. Cauliflower tabouli lasts for two days in the refrigerator. For best results, store it in an airtight meal prep container. Keep sliced lemons on hand and pack them with you if the tabouli starts to lose its juiciness. 

Can Cauliflower Tabouli be frozen?

Tabouli is not meant for the freezer. The dish holds up best in the refrigerator. Besides, once you taste this recipe, you won't have any leftovers to freeze!

How do you make Cauliflower Tabouli?

Omg, it's super easy! All you do is grate or run raw cauliflower through a food processor, mix with seasonings & oil, and then toss with remaining ingredients. This meal prep recipe takes less than 20 minutes. 

How to portion Cauliflower Tabouli?

Store one cup of cauliflower tabouli in four separate meal prep containers. Pair it up with a protein option of your choice or your favorite side dish.

Other tips for making Cauliflower Tabouli:

  1. Use raw cauliflower to recreate the bulgur or couscous look.
  2. Chop your ingredients finely. You can run the vegetables through a food processor. But don't do that to the parsley or it will wilt. As an alternative, you can use a vegetable chopper. 
  3. Toss the salad with dressing right before you serve the dish. 
  4. For best parsley chopping results, wash and dry it 24 hours before meal prepping.

    So fresh and delicious. I made it with mahi mahi and it was great. The tabouli flavor is all there, though, even with the cauliflower substitution. Don't omit the mint!
