Cook onion and salt for 2-3 minutes, until starting to soften. Add courgette, cauli pearls and tabbouleh spice mix to pan, season and stir. Cover with lid, reduce heat to low-medium and cook for 5-6 minutes, until cauli pearls are tender with a slight bite.
  5. While vegetables cook, finely chop parsley and coriander and tear cos into bite-size pieces. Set aside.
  6. Transfer cauliflower mixture into a medium bowl, along with all remaining tabbouleh ingredients. Toss to combine and season to taste.
