Cauliflower Tabouli

Cauliflower Tabouli

Cauliflower is an important vegetable, as it is a member of the “cruciferous” family, touted for their cancer-preventing properties! Cauliflower also has only 25 kcals per cup and can be prepared in many different ways. Here’s a way to serve it that will surprise your taste buds! The picture is from an article written about my hands-on cooking and nutrition classes, as the reporter visited class on the night that we made this delicious recipe and her photographer snapped a shot of it to put with the article.

Ingredients One head of cauliflower, grated in a food processor or with a box grater 3 red tomatoes, diced 4 Tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (or MORE – don’t be hesitate to double it+) 2 Tbsp vegetable broth (in place of oil) 1/3 cup lemon juice, freshly squeezed 2 Tbsp reduced-sodium soy sauce (or Bragg’s Liquid Aminos – diluted with water) – optional 4 scallions, minced salt and pepper

fresh mint (optional)

Procedure Toss the grated cauliflower in a bowl with the remaining ingredients and salt and pepper to taste. For a variation, add several tablespoons of chopped fresh mint.
