For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of cumin or a dash of red pepper flakes. If you don't have a food processor, you can finely chop the cauliflower by hand, though this will take significantly longer. This Tabbouleh is delicious on its own as a light lunch, or as a side dish with grilled chicken, fish, or falafel. Toasted pine nuts or chopped cucumber would be excellent additions.
