A tabbouleh salad is light, summery and bursting with flavour. This popular mezze dish is traditionally made with bulgur wheat, although some variations use couscous instead. Our version is made using cauliflower in place of other grains, creating a tasty, low-carb alternative.
This dish works well as a side, served with lean meat or fish; alternatively, it’s a delicious lunch or light meal by itself.
