Cookbook author shares Grain Free Tabbouleh Salad recipe

Erika Schlick, health coach, blogger and author of the cookbook Wandering Palate has several healthy recipes to make while you have some extra time at home and are looking for simple and healthy meals to prepare.

Schlick joined us today to demonstrate how to cook Grain Free Tabbouleh Salad.

The secret to this grain-free tabbouleh
salad is to use riced cauliflower instead of the usual bulgar. Otherwise,
expect the herbal freshness of traditional tabbouleh with copious amounts of
parsley and mint. Cherry tomatoes add some sweetness, color, and a fruity note.

These days, you can usually find riced cauliflower in the grocery store, but if you have to make it yourself, place cauliflower florets in a food processor and pulse until you achieve rice-sized pieces. You can even hand grate the cauliflower on a box grater.

The fresh herbs in the recipe provide an extra boost for your immune system full of antioxidants. Parsely is rich in vitamin A, C and K. Mint is anti-inflammatory and keeps mucus at bay as well as has antiviral and antimicrobial properties. Dill is a great source of fiber and folate which is essential for our cell functions.
