This is not your average tabouli. Made with cauliflower and broccoli rice instead of grains, this refreshing salad is loaded with cruciferous veggies which support your body’s natural detoxification processes.
Recipe Notes
You can use solely cauliflower rice in this recipe, however, if you have broccoli stems on hand, throw them in! I’m a huge fan of broccoli stems – they are absolutely delicious when “riced” (put in a food processor until finely chopped into a rice like texture) and especially when spiralized.
I don’t like to let food go to waste, so I would include the broccoli stems in this recipe if you have them on hand, but you don’t have to specifically go out and buy them (unless you also want to make something with the broccoli florets, which is always a good idea – like this roasted broccoli or broccoli basil soup.)
This makes six servings, so it will last you for days, and stores well in an airtight container in the fridge. While you can eat it on its own as a side salad, you may also want to add a heaping spoon or two on top of a regular salad, as a salsa on a taco, or dip gluten-free crackers or cassava chips into it. You can even use crisp romaine leaves as a scoop. (I’ve done them all).
