Tabouli or the proper spelling, tabbouleh, is a middle eastern vegetarian dish, known to most of us as a salad. Traditional middle easternย tabbouleh is made with tomatoes, finely chopped parsley, mint, bulgur, and onion, topped with olive oil, lemon juice, and salt. Our gluten-free version of this traditional favorite uses cauliflower in place of bulgur.ย
ย Lemonย is an essential element of this dish.ย Because I try not to use much oil in my recipes,ย theย lemon and apple cider vinegar plays theย main role in bringing this dish together. I know I know the strong mint and parsley flavors are hard to ignore butย without the correct seasoning, forget it.ย
