A beautiful (and healthful) dish to adorn the table whatever the season - whether a sunny picnic lunch or a festive Christmas side dish, the jewel bright pomegranate seeds and fresh flavours are always a welcome addition.
I use riced celeriac in place of the traditionally used bulgar wheat for a gluten and grain free version. I find it lends the right texture, being slightly firmer than say cauliflower, while still looking vaguely similar and without the cruciferous undertone of cauliflower which this recipe doesn't call for.
Traditional tabouleh uses parsley and lots of it but my preferred leafy herb is coriander - do feel free to experiment and go down the traditional route. Likewise, feel free to add finely chopped spring onions and/ or a quarter bell pepper but these are optional.
