Cauliflower Tabouli

Cauliflower Tabouli

IMG_5770.JPGI was at the market yesterday and I found the most gorgeous looking cauliflower.  I’m not kidding, it was the most beautiful shade of lavender. I’ve only ever seen it in culinary magazines and cooking shows but never in person. What made me even happier was the fact that it was on sale! I bought it and stared at it for a while. I thought about it and realized that I didn’t want to cook it because it would dull the color. I also didn’t want to just chop it up for a traditional salad or veggie platter. A dear friend of mine suggested that I make a tabouli out of it. I LOVED the idea so much that when I got home that was the first thing I did. The result of this dish was extremely rewarding in that the acidity of the dressing made the cauliflower turn from a gorgeous purple to pink. I served it to my daughter and told her that this was a special “Pink Princess” salad. Her reaction was priceless! ❤

    I love purple vegetables! I like to buy them and freak my husband out. He’d never seen purple potatoes before and thought I was trying to poison him. Ha! Anyway, this looks yummy and sounds so simple!
