Tabouli With Mint & Cauliflower Rice
The traditional tabouli recipe uses bulger wheat, a gluten containing grain which promotes inflammation, particularly when eaten in excess. Using cauliflower rice as a substitute not only makes this a healthy gluten free alternative but also low in carbohydrates and great for weight loss.. It tastes amazing too!
