This Roasted Cauliflower Tabbouleh is loaded with fresh vegetables, parsley and mint then tossed with a bright lemony vinaigrette.

I just love Mediterranean flavors. Lemons, olives, tomatoes, etc… Everything is so fresh and bright tasting.

Tabbouleh, a bulghur wheat and parsley salad, is no exception. It is loaded with fresh vegetables and then tossed with a bright lemony vinaigrette.

Traditionally served alongside bowls of hummus, baba ghanoush, fresh baked pita bread, falafel and yogurt sauce (similar to greek tzatziki sauce) as the start of the meal.

Instead of using bulghur, I decided to make this fresh lemony salad with roasted cauliflower. Oh my goodness, it turned out so yummy!

Serve this fresh yummy salad with grilled or roasted meats, fish or seafood or with your favorite vegetarian dish. The lemony flavor of this salad is a great complement to just about anything you serve.

You just gotta try it! This Roasted Cauliflower Tabbouleh would make the perfect side dish for Lemon Rosemary Grilled Chicken or Chicken Souvlaki with Tzatziki Sauce.

Make sure to have lots of pita bread and tzatziki sauce to serve with it. This will make a perfect healthy side dish for BBQ season. It would also be an awesome taco condiment. Try it on some grilled chicken or fish tacos. Yum!
