Gluten-Free Tabbouleh

Gluten-Free Tabbouleh recipe and content provided by Brent Totty

Traditionally, tabbouleh is made with ingredients like wheat bulgur or couscous, onions, garlic and tomatoes. Each is linked with causing inflammation, so a harmless looking bowl of tabbouleh can leave you feeling foggy. This gluten-free tabbouleh removes the inflammatory compounds for a recipe packed with healthy antioxidants, fats and fiber.

Swap the bulgur for steamed cauliflower rice to remove gluten, add lemon juice to lower parsley’s oxalate content (since research shows that added citrate helps neutralize the adverse effects of oxalates),^[1] remove nightshades, and add ketone-boosting Brain Octane. With a few simple changes, your gluten-free tabbouleh becomes a keto-friendly finger food.
