As a vegan, I would make batches of hummus and tabbouli often. When I ditched the beans and grains, that no longer happened, and they were two dishes that I greatly missed. This week I was inspired to attempt an AIP-friendly version of tabbouli with radishes and jicama instead of the grains. It is light, crunchy and refreshing and a great way to get some raw veggies in. This recipe keeps in the refrigerator for a week — I love to make a big batch of this on the weekends to add to my lunches.
- 1 bunch parsley, chopped
- 1 bunch radishes, finely chopped
- ½ lb jicama, peeled and finely chopped
- 2 carrots, finely chopped
- 1 cucumber, finely chopped
- 8 kalamata olives, minced
- 1 tablespoon mint, minced
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons apple-cider vinegar
- ½ lemon, juiced
- salt to taste
- Combine all of the chopped veggies (parsley, radishes, jicama, carrots, cucumber, olives, and mint) in a large bowl and toss with the olive oil, cider vinegar, lemon, and salt.

I’ve made a tabbouli-like salad with chopped up cauliflower as a substitute for the grain. It was super yummy too!
That is a good idea!
I thought jicama was from the legume family…no?
It is, but the seeds are what are problematic, not the roots. It is fine for the AIP.

This is an awesome salad that goes with everything it seems. I’ve made this with ‘riced’ cauliflower before too but the jicama has such a mild flavor, I prefer it.. I made one substitution, using daikon root because I didn’t have any radishes so mine wasn’t as pretty.
I also used my vitamix and wet chopped the root veggies all together. It’s done in 5 seconds and then I press the water out with the nut milk bag thats not getting any use on AIP!
Thank you for your yummy recipes!
Heidi,
Awesome! What a great idea about using the vitamix. Thanks for trying my recipe! 🙂

Delicious! I added tuna and ate it over watercress!
Wonderful! Just made it and both hubby and I loved it. Thanks. We used a food processor which created alot of liquid too. He suggested putting the ingredients in a strainer first to lessen the liquids before adding the liquid indredients. Also, another of his ideas is it could be the “slaw” for a fish lettuce wrap taco!
This is day one for us on AIP. I am a bit overwhelmed by kitchen duties…but my belly is full and happy…and we are hopeful for seeing change soon. Thanks again for this recipe and we do have your book so will be trying many more soon enough!
Elisa, wishing you the best of luck!

Just made this salad for the second time. Delicious!
For some reason it wouldn’t let me give it 5 stars. It’s a five star recipe!
Glad you enjoyed it Lori!
i made this last night! amazetown!
So happy you loved it Robyn!
[…] as it brings out the natural nuttiness of them. As for me, my personal favorite would have to be Radish and Jicama Tabouli from Mickey […]
Excellent! Love the texture, crunch and wonderful flavor profile.
I used a food processor. Pulsed each item separately and put it in a large bowl. Scooped the seeds out of the cucumbers. AND there was no need to strain the liquid. I made a double batch. So easy & yummy. Thank you for the recipe.
Really happy you liked it Anna!
I share your excitement for taboulleh and hummus and am so excited to try this AIP friendly recipe. There is a Lebanese garlic sauce called toum that is diet friendly and AMAZING! If you have an Alladin’s restaurant by you, they sell it. It helps me miss hummus less.
Have you found a hummus substitute? I tried a cauliflower version but it didn’t quite satisfy.
