This is my take on Middle Eastern Tabbouleh. Rather than bulger wheat, I use cauliflower. This dish is fresh, healthy mouthwatering and absolutely delicious. Cauliflower is a descendant of wild cabbage. The perfect cauliflower head is a creamy white color with no brown spots. Pick the cauliflower that is heavy in weight compared to its size. The leaves should be a brilliant green. Cauliflower is nothing but cabbage with a college education.
-Mark Twain (1835-1910)
