    Broccoli Cauliflower Tabbouleh

    This Broccoli Cauliflower Tabbouleh is a low-carb, gluten-free salad made from raw cauliflower and broccoli rice to substitute the grains! Healthy, vegan & easy to make!  Broccoli Cauliflower Tabbouleh studded with almonds and cranberries served in two black dishes

    One of my favorite cooking magazine is a French one called Saveurs. They always have stunning photographs and interesting, creative recipes. As I was browsing the latest issue on my iPad, I came across this broccoli cauliflower tabbouleh and was very intrigued.

    The next day, I tried it out and...wow, this broccoli cauliflower tabbouleh completely exceeded my expectations! Given the tabbouleh ingredients, I knew it would be healthy but I didn't think it would be that tasty. I think the dried cranberries and roasted almonds make the difference.

    The key to any good tabbouleh in general and this broccoli cauliflower tabbouleh, in particular, is definitely the fresh herbs. I use mint and flat leafed parsley, which I chop really finely to allow for an easier distribution throughout the grain-free tabbouleh salad.

    When I told my boyfriend I would make this broccoli cauliflower tabbouleh recipe, he wasn't really excited, to say the least. I mean, one would guess that you really got to like your cruciferous veggies to enjoy this grain-free tabbouleh.

    I realize this might sound like a strange one, but you really can't tell the main ingredients of this low carb tabbouleh recipe are raw cauliflower and broccoli, it's just...really good! I hope you'll give it a try 🙂

      This salad sounds wonderful. It's a totally different take on tabbouleh, and it sounds nicer than the usual version.

        Thanks Susan! I guess the only reason we can still call this recipe "tabbouleh" is because of the texture, but it's very different indeed 🙂

      I love cauliflower rice but have actually still not tried broccoli rice! It's about time! This mixture of both is the perfect starting point!
