Start the Guide ›

Paleo diet friendly tabouli. I can't take the credit, I found the idea online. Tabouli is an Arab side salad, for an authentic meal, eat with skewered kebab meats.

Preparation:

Step 6 of 27
Roughly chop your parsley.

Step 7 of 27
Add the parsley to your food processor. If you have time, the results tend to be better if you hand dice your ingredients.. But I'm short on time today.

Step 8 of 27

The observant reader will notice I have used a mixture of parsley types; normal parsley and also continental. I find the continental usually makes a better texture.

Step 9 of 27
Process the parsley.

Step 10 of 27
Par steam the cauliflower.. You just want to soften it a little.. It needs to keep most of its firmness.

Step 13 of 27

The cauliflower replaces the traditional couscous or bulgur wheat. The aim of par steaming and then dicing it is to try and generate a similar consistency and mouth feel.

Step 14 of 27
Add the ground cauliflower to the parsley mix.

Step 15 of 27
Garlic cloves: remove skin. You can use as much or as little garlic as you like.. We like our tabouli bitey.

It doesn't really matter how much garlic you use.. Experiment until the taste is how you like it :)

Finely chop the garlic.

Step 23 of 27

If you want to store your tabouli for longer, you can skip the next step and then make the lemon juice fresh when you plan to eat the tabouli (try to add the juice about an hour or so before eating).

Step 24 of 27
Juice your lemons. Again if you've got time you can also grate the zest from the outside of the lemon.  I also use some of the pulp from my juicer. Add the juice an pulp/zest into the mix.

Step 25 of 27

I forgot to include this originally. I also forgot to get a picture. But here you want to add the olive oil to the lemon juice.

Step 26 of 27
Using a salad spoon, toss the ingredients together so that everything is spread more or less evenly. Try to make sure everything has a good coating of lemon juice.

I Make a version of this recipe only instead of couscous/cauliflower,it calls for cooked bulgar wheat,which you can find in your specialty foods or health store (delicious!). It also calls for 1-2 cans of albacore tuna. I'm not sure if it's paleo or not,but it's delicious! Hope it helps:)
