I’ve never been one for that sweet potato casserole with the marshmallows. Unless it’s a smore I don’t want marshmallows in my food. Ever. I know it’s a tradition in many families, but it’s just not my thing!

This recipe was born out of a recent conversation with a friend about our favorite Thanksgiving foods.

This delicious take on a Middle Eastern tabbouleh salad is raw, vegan, grain-free, and full of nutrients! Bursting with fresh flavors, these super-food ingredients also support detoxification, an alkaline environment in the body, keep your blood sugar stable, decrease inflammation, and heal your gut! Traditional tabbouleh uses bulgur wheat, but I’m replacing that here with cauliflower. Because…more vegetables!

And did I mention, cauliflower prepared this way also happens to taste amazing? Years ago, amazing and cauliflower would not have made it into the same sentence, if I was writing it, but I’ve come to fall in love with cauliflower, it’s…
