With all of these warm spring days we’re getting, nothing sounds better than a cool, refreshing salad. This Cauliflower & Kale Tabbouleh has many of the same benefits of a green salad – it’s filled with flavorful and nourishing veggies – but, it has a special twist…
The cauliflower is reminiscent of the bulgar or couscous that typically serves as the base of Tabbouleh. And while it’s hearty in crunch and texture, it’s grain-free, which may be good news for anyone with a gluten allergy or intolerance.
There’s no roasting, baking or grilling involved. Just combine raw, nutrient-rich veggies with a little fresh-sqeezed lemon juice, vinegar, and spices. Easy peasy!

- 1 1/4 cups bell peppers
- 2-4 green onions, thinly sliced (about 1/2 cup or more)
- 2-3 dino kale leaves, thinly sliced
