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?

Other tips for making Cauliflower Tabouli:

Use raw cauliflower to recreate the bulgur or couscous look.
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.
Toss the salad with dressing right before you serve the dish.
For best parsley chopping results, wash and dry it 24 hours before meal prepping.
